Re: IBM looking to certify Linux

Yes, they are not the ''same'', but ibm with 970 tend to go with One.
Altivec technology for example was from Motorola (G4 apple computer) but in ibm 970
ibm provide the result as atlivec but in different way.
And for high end linux server and notebook its not the same.
But again the trend is (according to ibm) to produce the same for low and high end.
You right Mike Ibm now outperform motorola.

And rumors said that apple implemented 970 in their product this year.
Performance for 970 is really impressive.

Mike,

You've got it right. PowerPC was designed by colaboration with IBM, Apple,
and Motorola. It was based on IBMs earlier generation of "POWER" RISC
processors. Afterword, Motorola and Apple took the designs one way, and IBM
went another. Now, IBM can significantly out-perform Motorola designs.

Stephane,

I thought that the 400 runs on the POWER processor, and that the Power PC
processor is not exactly the same thing (maybe a subset of the POWER
architecture).
