  • The clones should have stayed. The problems Apple had was that it didn't distinguish itself enough from the clone makers. Apple should've concentrated on the OS + software and some hardware segments, like notebooks and stylish stuff. They wer…
  • I guess that processor speed isn't the only determinant for pros. There are other, more important things, like color calibration (what's the state of color calibration in windows these days? I genuinely want to know!), availability of PS plugins etc…
  • - Well, you'll be surprised : even at decoding stage, x86 procs can work on multiple instructions at the same time (PII had two iirc). It's not like parallel execution only exists at certain pipeline stages. - The whole idea of EPIC (Explicit Pa…
  • [quote] I wonder how this would be possible, given that even with SMT, there's still just a single pipeline that can only fetch and retire a given number of instructions per clock. The EV8 has a lot of parallel pipes (all modern microprocessor…
  • Actually, SMT helps extracting parallelism (by feeding instructions from multiple threads to the processor instead of just taking instructions from only one thread at a time), so it is a good tech for wide architectures, regardless of pipeline depth…
  • Eric : posting mackido links won't help the credibility of your argument. DKE has, well, err, not exactly the best reputation... [ 03-06-2002: Message edited by: amyklai ]
  • [quote]Originally posted by Tarbash: If IBM can implement this technology into the PowerPC chip soon, the days of having higher MHz are going to be back.... Have fun waiting for that...
