Here's the Intel press-release.
http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/20050606corp.htmDoes anybody have any idea of the number of lost devs during the last arcitectural change apple did (68k->PPC)?
Do note that even I as a PC-guy(in the sence that I am using an a64 for my daily doings) thinks this is a bad bad bad idea. Monopoly is never good. The PPC970 is a vastly great processor, the flip side is that GCC still cannot use Altivec on more than 10 % of the code (don't hang me over the numbers, just correct me will ya?). All in all it means that much of its potential is for naught.
Read here for an architectural review of the PPC970.
