  IBM's Hybrid CPU--Do You Need It?
Time: 14:46 EST/19:46 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Fred Fernandez

Here's the deal: The PowerPC 970 will run at 1.8GHz when it's released next year and will probably ramp up to 3GHz soon afterwards. Even at the lower number, it's a potent package because it uses IBM's Power4 "shared core" technology that produces two virtual CPUs on one die. While it won't have a 1.8GHz processor tooling along at a relative 3.6GHz speed, it will make that CPU faster than anything on the market in its class. When the processor hits 3GHz, it will make quite a bit of equipment in the low and mid-range space obsolete.
