Mighty Morphing Power Processors
Chip Majors like Intel, NEC, Philips and IBM are racing to create chameleon chips that brings in the reconfigurabe Technology. The best part is the chip can rewire itself on the fly -- a feat known as reconfigurable computing. With this technology, a future Macintosh from Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL ) might rejigger the circuitry on its PowerPC chip and then run software written for Intel (INTC ) Corp.'s microprocessors. Or an iPod music player could turn into a handheld computer -- or detect an incoming call and convert itself into a cell phone.

Amazing Technology. This should provide a very thin seperation between the chips and thus provides a way for interoperability. Whether all the features of Intel or AMD could be incorporated remains a real fuss.. Lets hope for the best with fingers crossed.
