[quote]Originally posted by Bodhi: Where does it say no G5? You realize that G4 and G5 and so on are "marketing" terms for processors made by Motorola that Apple comes up with. Just because Mot calls it an Apollo 6 or 7 doesn't mean it isn't a G5…

[quote]Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg: Oh, and this is a report from the where? The Register? The same source that promised inside sources revealed that we'd get Powermac G5s at MWSF, running at 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6 GHz? Yeah, that's what I…

You're missing the point Powerdoc. What's interesting about this particular bit of rumor is that it's not coming from the Apple camp. So far, every single bit of rumor I've read at the Inquirer about ATI or Nvidia turned out to be true. They were…

[quote]Originally posted by Eric D.V.H: 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. Congratu…

[quote]Originally posted by Eric D.V.H: Ahem. the PowerPC. being a RISC chip. still enjoys about a 1:2.5 Mhz to speed ratio over any 80x86 chipset. Eric, This is one of the stupidest things I've heard in a while.

[quote]Originally posted by G-News: SPEC could be the benchmark of all benchmarks, but it's like Linux: everyone has to fiddle it together himself, optimize here and there a bit, cheat a few instructions here and there and in the end what you have …

I didn't read the article in German, I didn't have to. I had already mentioned in my post that compilers were a problem for the G4. I personally don't think a G4 1 Ghz is slower than a Pentium 3 at 700 Mhz. But you can say all you want about Inte…

Since this thread will inevitably draw the "Mhz Myth" proponents like flies to dog sh!t, maybe this piece of relevant information should be added: The german chip magazine c't apparently finally ran the spec cpu2000 tests on our performance champ…

[quote]Originally posted by CCR65: Pixar's business does not depend on Pentium 4's. They use Sun Sparc and MACS. Oh I'm sure there are Windows boxes sitting around doing something (like crashing)there but do they depend on them for their livelyhood…

[quote]Originally posted by G-News: Maybe because Xeon chips have several megs of L2 cache though? G-News No, current Xeons are exactly the same as Pentium 4, the only difference is that they support dual-processors.

[quote]Originally posted by cowerd: Their very own?? Apple != Pixar, no matter how much you wish-think it. Pixar == business, hence they buy the best Hardware for the job. Do you think Apple runs their HR backend or website on Apple boxen? Get a …

I think 1.5 Ghz + 266 Mhz DDR at MWNY wouldn't be a bad machine. It'd still be too little too late though. I find it very ironic that, Apple's PowerMac G4 pages are so full of anti-Intel, specifically anti-Pentium 4 nonsense and yet Steve Jobs' v…

[quote]Originally posted by Programmer: Heh, where'd you get that crap? Its total bunk. Take it easy, JD was just being sarcastic. He's just spoofing the total bunk that's "the megahertz myth" the way Apple presents it.

[quote]Originally posted by Programmer: I guess these are important for modellers and CAD programs... but I'd wager that nVidia is making inroads into these markets. You wouldn't go too wrong using the new geForce4 Ti as a "pro" video card. …

[quote]Originally posted by The Swan: Dewdrops, to answer a few of your questions, its not that simple. A single processor is not constantly saturating the bus. In fact I would wager that even a dual 1Ghz G4 under heavy load is not maxing the bus…
