[quote]Well. it's true. everyone knows that a contest between roughly equivalent CRISC and RISC chips will always result in the RISC having a speed edge to compensate for the lower clock frequency. Praytell, what part of a rhino's nether regions …
-
[quote]Listen, I'm all for the G4, and I really think that with the HIP-7 process transistion, Motorola can really deliver a kickass chip, especially if Apple gets its **** together and couples it with a northbridge that even comes close to circa 2…

[quote]Well, well, well if it isn't my nemesis, johnsonfromwisconsin... In the flesh!

[quote]I'm not all that concerned about a procssor that's not shipping for some time, and it's P4 at that. The P3 is still a faster processor if you live in reality (the Mac world) intel, and their users have always based their processors on x-Hz. B…

[quote]so is this a CISC, CRISC, or RISC speedster? It doesn't even sound like it's any sort of real CPU, merely an integrated circuit.
-
[quote]I doubt it. the G4 is roughly equal with integer and floating point calculations. and if the Altivec unit is given a chance to shine. it beats them handily. HEHE, that was a good one, tell me another

[quote]Could the news of layoffs at Motorola Semiconductor be in preperation for a sellout to Apple No, it's in preperation of Motorola getting out of the semiconducor buisness.

kidred: [quote]Need some more public statements with Intel using mhz numbers? To clarify: what marketing have they done to the fact that performance == mhz? The statemtnt above wasn't what I meant. Everybody releases statements on new …

[quote]It has suited Intel to simply use MHz as their marketing tool, and the mainstream press has been amazingly compliant in this regard. Okay. Excactly where has Intel marketed product based on a Mhz number? What ad? What commercial? W…

[quote]Perhaps Apple might consider marketing future Mac with that information up front. For example: PowerMac w/933mhz / short pipeline G4 processor etc... shortness of pipelines has no more to do with performance than MHz.

[quote]I thought Intel was headed back down in sheer clockspeed stupidity... How is creating a scalable design and implementing cutting edge manufacturing processes, "Stupidity"?
-
[quote]1. Why is the G5 nearly here? Because Apple has been dumping money into G5 development ever since the 500MHz G4 debacle. As soon as the G4's scaling bug was discovered, Apple decided to cut their losses and concentrate R&D on the G5. …

[quote]Seek help. Indeed!

Nevertheless, large L1 caches can have a drawback that is a serious detriment to performance.

How about solid-state storage, about 15gb.

Nice to see you john

[quote]Powerdoc, how can you really comment on the relative speed of the G5 as it relates to the G4. How can anyone really comment on it? It's just a bunch of rumors. Anyone with any licence to say anything is most likely constrained by NDA'…

[quote]we are now dead last. Not really, the MIPS is at what? 500mhz?

Whistler said: [quote]Heh - get tired of the ArsTechnica boards JFW? Funny as it sounds, most of the people I get tired of are probably here as well <jest> Actually, my account on AI goes back to December 99, before I regist…

[quote]P4's behemoth pipeline depth squanders every single piece of special gadgtery they shoved in it. Nonsense. [quote]The P4 is a makerting tool, and not as efficient as the P3! As long as Intel can lap up the masses with the MHZ myth …
