PPC vs x86, Intel vs AMD, believe me folks I´d like to see PPC rule the market, but this looks like x86 is here to stay. I think it´s interesting to see what will be tomorrow, even if it has little to do with Amiga today.
Yes, I know that GHz isn´t everything, but that´s a *lot* of GHz to make up for with superior (?) architecture...
From Heise Online:
"In the early morning, shortly after 8 AM local time, [Intel] presented a prototype of a 0.13µm Pentium-4 (Northwood), which - shortly - ran at 3.5 GHz.
On average, the IDF record breaking CPUs reach the market after roughly a year. The 2 GHz type that started production yesterday was also presented as a prototype on last year´s IDF. So we can expect the 3.5 GHz Pentium 4 in late summer 2002. In general, so Otellini, the architecture can be scaled up to 10 GHz."

Pentium IV Prototype at 3.5 GHz : Comment 2 of 41 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Hans-Joerg Frieden on 28-Aug-2001 22:00 GMT | Let's first see when this thing comes out, what the price will be, and most importantly how many stages they had to add to the pipeline again to get this increase in clock frequency.
They will probably have 30 or more pipeline stages now, and will again invent a nice buzzword term like "GigaPipelined Architecture" to cover the fact that any stall in their pipeline will make their CPU perform 20 times slower :-)
Apart from that, Motorola and IBM aren't idle, either. |
