I find it hard to believe the article stated IBM's chip division would be for sale. Why would IBM sell their chip division to a rival? IBM would no longer have the POWER chip and thus would lose their POWER-based servers. They also develop the mainframe chips.
Unless IBM solely wants to go the software route and get out of hardware altogether, but they hold more patents than almost any company and have a massive R&D budget. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
