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 26 of 41 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Mike Pearson on 29-Aug-2001 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 19 (Bart Vanhaeren): As to speed, as I recall, on that series of motorola chips (060) and
earlier, that this was the external speed and that to catch up the '86
series reported the internal clock speed which was double clocked
hence a Pentium 66 was really a 33 if reportred the same as motorola.
Hence the Amiga 2000-33 (030) was the equivalent as the P-66. As we
had both at the same time, the amiga was actually faster until the 133
came out. Remember, Back 9in those days, Motorola was touting MIPS,
not mz. What ever happened to mips anyway? (I think there were too
many ways to test-report them.) |
