Sun 公司正式授权 IBM 使用 Java 技术制作专用芯片,该专用 Java 芯片可以用于移动电话、有线电视数码顶置盒、便携式计算机及打印机等设备。今后,IBM 将为用户提供利用 Sun 的 picoJava 处理器技术及 IBM 处理器技术相结合的专用处理器芯片。由于 Java 程序具有广泛的应用性和适应性,以及将 Java 程序应用于新技术产品而不必重写程序等特性而受到人们的青睐。然而,分析家认为仅仅运行 Java 程序的芯片市场需求并不广泛。Sun 计划今年年初为市场提供 picoJava 处理器芯片,到目前为止仅有极少数量的该类型芯片供于使用,部分原因是市场需求不旺。“到目前为止,Java 芯片的市场需求几乎为零,而且这一市场需求将以极为缓慢的速度增加。”Sun 有关人士为 Java 芯片市场需求不旺的现象做出了另外一种解释。其他已获 picoJava 技术使用
Sun Microsystems officially licensed IBM to make special chips using Java technology for mobile phones, cable set-top boxes, portable computers and printers. In the future, IBM will provide users with a combination of Sun’s picoJava processor technology and IBM processor technology, a dedicated processor chip. Due to the wide range of applicability and adaptability of Java programs, as well as the application of Java programs to new technology products without having to rewrite programs and other features and get people’s favor. However, analysts believe the demand for the chip market running only Java programs is not extensive. Sun plans to offer the picoJava processor chip to the market earlier this year, and so far only a very small number of these chips are in use, partly because the market is in short supply. “So far, the market demand for Java chips is almost zero, and the demand in this market will increase at a very slow rate.” An additional source of explanation for the unmanaged demand in the Java chip market by Sun sources.
