- On Tuesday evening Bob Brodie showed up to the Delphi conference. The
- following questions and answers are paraphrased a bit, but are as close as
- I remember them.
- Q: Can you squash the rumor that Atari has designed a 64-bit CPU?
- A: No, I can confirm that rumor as true.
- Q: Will it be used in a future computer? (non-game console)
- A: Its only logical a CPU be used in a computer.
- Q: Is it RISC or CISC based?
- A: That would be risky to say. (notice the pun :)
-
- For me this was the first confirmation from Atari I have heard on this
- 64-bit chip as fact. The question still remains to me if this is really a CPU
- or a GPU, and that I guess will remain to be seen, as has already been discusse
- d a general CPU would be next to unbelievable.
