The next breakthrough processor from AMD? Intel?

They've been hyping it up for years now.

All I have to say is "I'll believe it when I see it"
 
If IBM and Sony keep their promise

Also, the ability toproduce such a chip is not indicated. We may have to wait until Feb 2005
More details about the processors will be revealed at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, which takes place in San Francisco in February 2005.

Why would it kill the PC? It's designed for gaming and graphics. People do a lot more than that on their PC. Otherwise the GeForce would have killed the PC. 🙂
 
The PC will not die, unless they make a desktop system that has a keyboard / mouse / etc that can be used for business apps as well as gaming. In which case it is a PC anyway, just a different platform.

The PC is dead, long live the PC!

Bunch of BS if you ask me.

Here you go.

Sounds like the same person wrote both press releases.

That article was pure comedy...
Because a PlayStation 2 lacks a built-in storage device, he says new programs would likely run through the DVD drive. There are fewer ways for the average user to run into problems because read-only devices are harder to break, he says.

I think there's a few million people with shoddy/broken PS2s or systems that can't read discs anymore that would beg to differ.

It's the CD-ROM's fault, not the processor.

I think of Monty Python.......... "But its Hwaafeeer Theen"

 
If Sony can pull this off, people are going to be singing their praises and intel/amd adherents will be looked upon as bizarre twits.

CAN they? I don't know, and that's why I used "if" in my OP.

I hope someone does though, and in my lifetime. The idea of an integrated home computer system bring in fiber broadband and being able to manipulate HDTV, data, phone and all the heating, lighting and such in a home has been an unrealized dream forever it seems.

I don't care if WalMart goes into the processor business if they can do it. I just would like to see it done, and be at a price point we all can afford.
