I do not see anywhere that they are making desktop chips now. That would be cool though.
IBM chips have always been way more powerful than desktop chips but the lack of X86 instructions means they have to use the more powerful but less widespread, SPARC/RISC instructions.
Dunno about you, I like running Windows. HP UX on powerpc is freaking, really freaking, fast for a sub 100 MHz CPU, but doing anything in HP UX is like milking a bull.
I am sure that IBM will jsut continue making chips for industry and leave us pwners to overclocking our X86 setups.
