So how comes IBM's AI machine called Watson which outsmarted the two best champions on Jeopardy TV show uses Power7 not x86 architecture?

If only an IBM engineer was a nostalgic Amigan with a dream to out do Wintel at least technically.....


It's just a little bit too big for my living room, I'll pass on this new PPC technology and happily continue use my Intel Core2Duo

AmigaOS or MorphOS on x86 would sell orders of magnitude more than the current, hardware-intensive solutions. And they\\\'d go faster. --D.Haynie

Admit it, you asked but the wife would not allow it, right?

No but I know she would want to expand the house right after and since I would
go broke by getting into this PPC thing and building more rooms I would end up selling the whole lot :-P
