Interview with Apple's G4 processor supplier CEO
Interesting interview with the CEO of the G4 processor (in Apple's Mac Mini and laptops) manufacturer, Freescale. He explains why IBM isn't working with Apple anymore (not the other way around) and when he worked for IBM and he sold Steve Jobs on the G5 five years ago, when Jobs almost went with Intel.
I had talked to someone at IBM and he told me that their Fishkill PowerPC G5 plant couldn't afford to make the processors because Apple couldn't sell as much. So supplying to the Xbox 360 and the upcoming Playstation 3 made financial sense. In the meantime, I love my Quad! http://news.com.com/Is+the+PowerPC+d...ml?tag=st.prev heath |
