    in Will Intel Macs do Windows? Comment by existence June 2005
  • The Xeon is just a beefier version of the Pentium 4 with more cache, support for ECC and better hyperthreading support. Apple will likely use future versions of the Xeon based on Conroe/Merom/pentium M in its PowerMacs and Xserves.

  • The athlon64/Opteron has fewer pipeline stages than the G5. This is one one the why it kills the G5 at benchmarks.

  • Anyone remember in the dark days of the G4, circa 2000-2003, when Steve used to demo OS X at macworlds and WWDC and it seemed unusally snappy? What if Steve was using intel machines for the demos, right under our noses?

  • http://www.mrbarrett.com/archives/20..._x_on_int.html Here's some XBench benchmarks on the 3.6GHz Pentium versus a dual 2.7GHz G5. Keep in mind the scores of the P4 are low because it's not a native version of XBench, but running through Rosetta …

  • Quote: Originally posted by mattyj Are the speed ratings the give for them justified? As far as I remember, 4600 means that it should be as fast as a Pentium 4 at 4.6Ghz. So a 512kb increase of L2 cache is equivalent to 200mhz??? Actually,…
