PowerPC processor portfolio
comes to hand
WBC has signed a pan-European distribution agreement with Applied Micro Circuits Corp
Effective immediately, WBC will sell and provide technical support for AMCC's PowerPC 4xx processor portfolio, acquired earlier this year from IBM Microelectronics. This enables WBC to continue to develop projects and business with the PowerPC 4xx series that has already been distributed before, under the IBM Microelectronics franchise.

"We have been very successful with IBM in the past and expect to continue that with AMCC and their future innovations".
"AMCC deems the PowerPC technology vital for the evolution of our core networking and storage business".
"We are confident that the 4xx series can play a major role as an embedded architecture in the European mass market".
"WBC provides an important combination of in-depth knowledge of the PowerPC market, and first-class support from field application engineers with a deep level of embedded experience", said Liam Livesey, AMCC's EMEA Sales Director.
AMCC is fully committed to the PowerPC 405 and 440 family roadmap, and will introduce several new products and derivatives in the near future.
AMCC has sought the input and support from many customers on the further development of the roadmap, additional features, performance enhancements and other market requirements.
