  • [quote]Originally posted by Jonathan: er, too bad the current PMs and PBs use 7455s. The 7455 are functionally equivalent to the 7450. The System file has the following definitions: m68k, m68030, m68040 ppc601 ppc603 ppc603e ppc603ev ppc604 …
    in No G5 support in MacWorld's Jaguar build. Comment by *l++ July 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg: Then why did you post it? What is your point? I posted because I had personally been wondering if the later distributed builds of Jaguar had any knowledge of a processor beyond the 7450. Now…

  • Like I meant anything different than what was said in those last two posts. If you hoped there would be a trace in that build, there is not, that is all, period.

  • It says NEWEST, not NEW. whatever exists now is what is newest.

  • Interesting psychological study this pdf. Noone gives much credence to most of what is posted in HTML around here. Now someone offers a (unprofessional looking) PDF, and somehow it becomes equivalent to the printed word, and it feels like it des…
    in PowerMac G4 Specs 07/17/2002 Comment by *l++ June 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: Its not a G4 restriction -- the G4 supports up to 36-bit physical addresses across MPX. The chipset is probably the limiting factor, unless there are motherboard design issues with having too many slots on…

  • [quote]Originally posted by hmurchison: bullshit..the UMA motherboards do not vary that much. It's the ASICS that are costly to design. For all practical purposes, the ASICs ARE the motherboard. The G3 uses the 60x bus, while the G4 uses MAX…
    in Apple's product matrix, un-Jobs-like Comment by *l++ June 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Keeksy: I can really see Apple going with a workstation version of the Power4 instead of Motorola's G5...... The whole idea of the G5 (e500 core and OCEAN interconnect), is that any of Motorla's customer can create it…
    in A few G5 tidbits Comment by *l++ June 2002
  • There is a lot of hype surrounding USB 2. We will have to wait until it makes it into customers hands before it can be declared a success. The main problem I see with it, is the support cost from customers who do not understand why they get a lo…
    in Apple and USB 2 Comment by *l++ June 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: Right... but I don't think enough research has been done to say that its not possible. We take a lot of things for granted today that were deemed "not possible" 20 years ago. I hope that you are right …

  • [quote]Originally posted by Programmer: The auto-vectorizing is a start, but C/C++ just doesn't lend itself well to vector code unless you put in custom extensions. The AltiVec extensions are fine, but they only work with the AltiVec. There is …
    in Sources of PPC G5, 8500, Sahara rumors Comment by *l++ June 2002
  • Hmm.. SIMD is not that difficult to program, and the latest gcc (in the dev tools) does a descent job at vectorizing your code. There are also some code vectorizer out there that do a good job. Altivec can be programmed from C. The only test I …

  • nally posted by Matsu: That's the bit. The interger units run at twice the speed of the rest of the CPU. I just didn't know if it was 1.2/2.4 or 2.4/4.8. I guess it's the latter (but I'm not sure) though it matters not since the P4 remains the f…
