Title: Motorola PDFclaims integration of rapid I/O in all future Moto PPC's
Post by: Eric_Z on June 04, 2003, 01:13:57 PM

This PDF (http://e-www.motorola.com/collateral/SNDF2003_EUROPE_H1101.pdf) from Motorola claims that they will integrate Rapid I/O (page 32)  in all of there uppcoming PPC's (later then 74*7).  And it also mentions that they have added a dual core PPC page 34) chip on there roadmap.  However the PDF does not mention any expected timeframes for when these new processors will appear.

don't go all out of your wibble mm.
the main reason for the updates was that Apple was threathening to go to the competition for PPC chips.
if it isn't bad anough that Mot already gets their G4's made by IBM...
