Its been stopped, or put into hold...

Either way, who has bought an IBM branded pc in the last 8 years?

The new chip is expected to be used in Sony Corp.'s next-generation PlayStation game console. Toshiba Corp. plans to incorporate it into high-end televisions. And IBM Corp. has said it will sell a workstation with the chip starting this year.

I don't know if that's true or not, because I thought I heard what you heard as well, but I saw this on Google news earlier, and I knew I didn't misread it, at least.

Well, considering they're the largest information technology company in the world, that they have the best selling laptop in the world, and are the #1 server provider in the world, I imagine they matter to a couple people outside of the personal computer.

Fuck hype.

Your preaching to the choir, but I should have stated that I meant Workstations...

There laptops are nifty...

Yeah. I think I think I'm as addicted to that feeling I get with industry hype as I am with playing the games themselves.

That and the inevitable cycle (hype/hope/disappointment) it all puts me through.

When you're not disappointed though, it's almost as good as when the best game ever drops out of the blue into your lap.

IBM still provides personnal computers, for the workplace. I believe they do this through a lease program. Most financial firms use IBM, over any other brand on the market.

Wow, a processor so fast that nothing can utilize it for years to come!

Not to mention nearly everyone that owns a Mac is using an IBM chip.

Well.. it runs at 185 fahrenheit... with a heatsink.

i wonder how it compares to an 8 Opteron cluster. I would imagine it won't be long before AMD throws 8 winchesters on a single chip. I want to see those apples to apples comparisons.
