This should have happened about 10 years ago......I'm thinking it's too little, too late, to be of any consequence.
@vidarhKeep in mind, that the ppc cpus in washingmachines, microwaves o r printers, as well as routers don't count as if it were computers.
Like many other products it seems to die the withering under the claws of businessdepartments that don't-get-it.Would PPC had any chance if this had been done from the start?
Who cares if Arm outsells PowerPC and any other.The main thing here, has to be the alliance between IBM, nVidia and Google
Nvidia, which is an ARM licensee, is not about to become a Power licensee, says Sumit Gupta, general manager of the Tesla Accelerated Computing business unit.
A15 shows promise but is still too anemic for enterprise use cache and address space wise. I have no doubts it will transform into something quite impressive in the future, though.I've used an A15 machine in the past (Chromebook) and found it to be a hideous experience, and Google went back to Intel CPU's for the Chromebook Pixel. That being said, for the price the ARM Chromebook was well received, but I found the machine to be darned near unusable.
Nicholas:I find the screen on the Pixel nicer than the MBP, to be honest. I give my left plum for one running a proper OS, lol. The Pixel is an absolutely gorgeous machine, but I could never get past Chrome OS.
