New Executive Update : Comment 49 of 64 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 25-Nov-2000 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 36 (Anonymous): The reason that the G4 hits the ceiling at 500 MHz, is because it only has a 4 stage instruction pipeline. This is typical of a RISC CPU, and is good for speedy instruction execution, but as i mentioned, it limits max clock speed.(for comparison the Pentium IV has a whopping 20-stage pipeline). The G4e will have a 7 stage pipeline, which will allow it to run at much higher clock speeds, but we have yet to see a tentative launch date for this CPU. last i heard it will be available sometime in Q1 2001, perhaps even later. (this CPU will also include on-die L2 cache, improving speed even further) |
