    After The latest news from IBM and AMD you have to wonder what's going on at IBM...

    From Time Magazine Dec 20, 2004 p25


    Is Lenovo going to continue to work with AMD? Did AMD know they were going to produce chips for Lenovo? Or will Lenovo can AMD and leave them with the debt from strained silicon transistors and still use the technology with Intel? Or will Lenovo try going another route alltogether, like VIA? We've certainly seen stranger things...

    Personally, I'd like to know what that's going to do with the American IBM employed engineers and employees who were intrigal to the IBM PC / Lappy division.

    Lenovo has merely purchased IBM's computer construction business-AMD is still working with IBM and IBM alone on computer chip manufacturing.

    But is AMD still going to have a place in the future IBM/Lenovo PCs? Or will they be confined to other products and leave strained silicon to chips for other IBM products? I was viewing the innitial talks about IBM and AMD working together and the statement telling of strained silicon being used on dual-core A64s in the next year as a doorway for AMD to have chips in IBM PCs, and as such one more step toward taking the market from Intel...

    It's what happens when you have 1/6th of the worlds population, and they will work for cheap.
