"There have been a few recent PowerPC announcements that have caused the Mac Faithful to wonder anew about The Switch and the "real" reasons behind it. First, there was the 970FX announcement, which clearly showed that IBM is capable of putting out a 970 processor that compares quite well with the Pentium M in performance/watt. And then there's the 970MP, which Apple has used to make a monster of a quad-processor 64-bit RISC workstation. To make matters even more interesting, P.A. Semi has just announced a dual-core 64-bit PowerPC processor SoC that, if the specs and numbers are to be believed, could take PowerPC to a whole new performance/watt level."

In the days of Eugenia this site was interesting. One could come here for news on technology, despite all the faults in its management, which could almost always be forgiven.
In just a few months, however, it degraded to useless. Every third 'story' is about Why Did Apple Really Switch, repeating the same tired and uninformed arguments on PPC's 'promising future'. What's more, the site's crew, or at least one person there, apparently enjoys spending his time on the comments section, boringly defending the 'articles' and why they are so right.
Meanwhile, even the automatically generated http://news.google.com section on technology covers interesting news that never find their way here.
