Shocking???
« on: November 04, 2003, 05:36:35 AM »
Microsoft has chosen to use the IBM PowerPC in future versions of X-Box???  This article Microsoft chooses IBM technology says that Playstation and Nintendo already use the PowerPC.  I thought that the Pentium was faster.....

Acording to rumors, the XBox2 is going to be equipped with a slim version of the PPC 970, which is more powerful than the fastest Pentium.

Sony's Playstation is - as far as I know - know using an IBM chip at the moment. But rumors say the PS3 will be.
