Labels:text | screenshot | number | font | electronic device OCR: "It may be the biggest thing since sliced bread!" magine a microprocessor that runs as fast as a Pentium, or faster; that is half the size, half the cost, and half as hot -- and forms the nucleus of a inter-operable IBM-Apple platform. Now imagine that this microprocessor was the result of a joint venture of three old competitive adversaries -- IBM, Apple and Motorola -- and that it will be available in a new generation of personal computers as early as the first quarter of 1994. Imagine that, and you've imagined the new PowerPC. "The PowerPC is a new microprocessor originally developed by IBM, but now at the center of a technology agreement between IBM, Apple, and Motorola, explains Tom Weishaar, President of Syndicom, _ the company that manages GEnie's brand new PowerPC RoundTable. "Apple has announced that within a few years, all of its Macintosh computers will use the PowerPC, rather than the Motorola 68000-series microprocessors Macintoshes have used until now. IBM is also building computers with the new chip and Motorola is manufacturing the chips and designing enhanced versions. Prev Next 1 D More Contents
