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 32 of 41 | ANN.lu |

The PPC is actually developed by two companies, Motorola and IBM....
And they both make progress in different areas. While Motorola made Altivec available,
IBM succeeded in reaching higher clock frequencies on the G4 (for a long time, it couldn't
go beyond 500 MHz).
