    Again the same question like 2.5 months ago: Do you mean the LSI Axxia? After all, the IBM PPC476 ist just a core.



    I mean the 476 core which seems rather nice.Unfortunately that core got used by LSI only and while I don't know the cost of their chip I guess this 476 incarnation is not the best candidate for a new cost sensitive and powerful mainboard. Maybe we will see some other 476 based chip popping up (but I haven't heard of any).
    But as sad, *I* would go for QorIQ if I had to design a ppc mainboard today. With regard to MorphOS and Altivec I would still rate the 86xx rather interesting, but 86xx reached EOL while QorIQ didn't.

    Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
