Ik las een klein beetje bij Generation K7, en daarna bij JC: IDT wil Centaur verkopen.
JC zegt dat IDT aan Centaur 'autonomie', oftewel zelfstandigheid wil geven, maar bij GK7 hadden ze het er over dat IDT alleen maar denkt aan verkopen. Dat laatste zou het slimste zijn, vooral omdat Centaur winstgevend is, en er dus vast wel enkele overname kandidaten zijn.
Aaaah! There's too much news today! IDT posted some really good quarterly numbers but spontaneously decided to give up on x86 and make Centaur (the x86 wing of IDT) total autonomy. It is now the Centaur WinChip 4 that I hope doesn't get lost to the wind, as events like these could easily end up destroying itty-bitty cpu design groups (you might remember that Cyrix avoided such a fate by the skin of their teeth only last month). I'll try to find out more about what's going on, this is rather shocking for me -- at the least, I may have to pay up on a bet regarding IDT and Rise that I made with Steve Porter.
