Ummm...when did the PowerPC die? They just got copper
interconnects!
They didn't. My point was that it didn't take the world by storm like
they had expected. Intel won the marketing game.
The things are everywhere, just not on the desktops of
many people. The
PowerPC family of CPUs is widely acknowledged as a sucessful product.
Beyond PeeCees and PeeCee type servers, Pentiums have little market
share. PowerPCs can be found in RS/6000s, AS/400s, cars, telecom
equipment, etc..
I certainly think the PowerPC has life in it yet. The new G3 Macs are
incredible.
