- I was reading in the Jan issue of Byte that the PowerPC 602 chip is already
- out in low quantities and that developers have samples. They were predicting
- systems 4q93 (i believe).
-
- The most astounding fact was that they are expecting the chip to cost as
- low as $50. With the Pentium rumored to cost $500+ per chip, this would
- seem to be half the game right there.
-
- If anyone has more info, please let me know,
