....In related news, sources confirmed that IBM is well under way in its
plans to develop the PowerPC 615, which
effectively combines a PowerPC and a Pentium in one package. IBM could not
be reached for comment.

The chip can be instructed to perform at start-up time as a Pentium, as a
PowerPC or as both processors at
once. When running as one chip at a time, performance is reportedly that
of high-end Pentium and PowerPC
604 processors.

When the chip is running in dual mode, performance is considerably slower;
sources said resolving this
dual-mode performance hit will keep the chip from shipping sooner than the
latter half of 1996.

Because it is pin-compatible with the Intel Pentium, not PowerPC, the 615
can be just "dropped into an
Intel-class logic board, which clone vendors will love," one source said.


In the future perhaps we will be running all available OS's as needed.
