Shows will likely sport pre-roll advertisements that can’t be skipped, and advertising alongside the shows. It’s not know at this time whether Google will be selling ad space alongside the programming or whether (like CBS) MGM will do its own ad placement. Industry watchers expect that advertising revenue for the shows will be split between the two companies.

However, IBM has combined two important manufacturing technologies to make this offering unique. One is the process node, which affects how many chips can be crammed onto a wafer. Smaller process nodes, such as 45 nanometer, offer better power efficiency (or performance) and better economies of scale. The other technology is silicon-on-insulator (SOI), which is more expensive than the traditional CMOS process. Foundries offering SOI technology typically do so at larger nodes, such as at 90 nanometers, where it’s hard to justify the higher cost of SOI when a chipmaker may be able to get the same cost efficiencies or performance and power gains by going to a smaller process node with CMOS chips.
