Everything that compared the PPC to P4 in your PDF was compared to the P4 Williamette. The Williamette core sucked big balls. Notice how I compare the P4 Northwood to the PPC. You need to update your shit man.
For the MTOPS, the PPC may achieve higher MTOPS numbers, but it doesn't show in modern apps. MTOPS don't mean a thing for real world performance(hence why the x86 can handidly beat the PPC in graphics, digital editing, audio, definatley gaming, etc.). Who gives a fuck about numbers that don't mean a thing in real world performance? :rolleyes:
Reasons for the G5 not being released yet - issues with the clock multiplier and cache coherency glitches . Man, that would make me want to put alot of faith into the G5.
Umm, I just noticed that the G5 article was written Oct. 18, 2001. It is Oct. 16th 2002 right now...where are the G5s? It has been about a year since that article was written.

Not taking any sides (so don't flame) but here is something I found on a PowerMacG4 to add to the conversation we are all having
http://www.apple.com/powermac/specs.html
Sorry wanted to add this on as well

MacBidouille posted a rumor regarding the G5. English translation is provided by Sammy:
- Jaguar server will make it possible to netBoot os X and remote administration. - the factory which will manufacture new the G5 microprocessor will be in Grenoble. It is not finished yet.
- G5 will not even be available until the end of 2003, on the other hand it really exists and runs reliably. The manufacturing is, however, not very reliable in terms of loss and is too expensive for the moment.
- G4s will evolve -- but very little -- it is motherboards using Hypertransport (that of Xserve) and cache systems which will evolve.
- the new models of motherboards do not support os 9, it is thus finished definitively on the next machines.
- the core following of jaguar will be clusterisable on the system level... one then supposes a very evolutionary machine out of turn of xServe. (On a standard 42u rack, 39 Xserve dual 1Ghz machines and an xserve Raid with 1,68 To, using only one screen)
- For the first time of the history of Apple, a standard machine is made with recycled materials (Aluminum, etc) (??? not sure of this translation ???)
- The system composes of a main server and a slave server. The xServe slave autoswitchs to a Master, (in the event of breakdown of the Master), reswitches automatically when the solution of the breakdown is found! the user sees nothing there, only the administrator receives a message of breakdown of the first server.
A little old but the full story can be seen at Clicky
for anyone who hasn't seen it yet

First of all it's not "my shit" :D . Secondly, who the fuck cares about Williamete or Northwood "shit"? All I know is that Macs are faster, that's why they have always been the choice of Graphic Artists, Web designers etc. Perhaps you should update your "shit" :D
The x86 platform is only for Linux which runs great on it and not for your pathetic excuse of operating system. Man I've been following your posts since the beginning and I have come to the following conclusion: you either have mazochistic tendencies or you may be under the illusion that posting in the MES forums will actually convert people back to Windows :D :D Which one is it then? What do you hope to accomplish by posting here? Are you maybe trying to prove something?
Get something straight: Your arguments are based on rotten foundations, and anything THAT unstable can easily collapse. Perhaps that's why the only person who is convinced by your "arguments" is YOU.
:D

Look buddy, I already posted benchmarks showing that in th real world the modern x86 CPU's beat out the fastest available PPC's. I don't give a fuck about the stuff in that article that compares PPC to over a year old x86 processors.
Like I said, get some updated shit man. Oh yeah, you never answered me, where are the G5s'? That year old article in the PDF talked about G5's being available soon. Now where the fuck are they? Thats what I thought. :rolleyes:
