Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: 'Mankind'. Basically, it's made up of two separate words - 'mank' and 'ind'. What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

With a time machine, why stop there? Why not go for a K15, or a P12?

How much you wanna bet that if you went with the top-o-the line pentium 5 years from now it would run todays apps more slowly than a 1.7GHz P4?
Then again, liquid hydrogen cooling might come standard with the AMD chip of the day.

I believe its more a question of how much you wanna bet the current MS in 5 years will run slower then 2000 or ME

[anthrax1369]

well the "HAMMER" is gonna be BIG and FAST

it will compare with the g3&4 in the mac world...macs have 64bit cpu's thats y they better at applications (i think)

Correct me, but I think the G4 have 128bit pipeline, witch is still better than the Hammer.

Is the G4 itself 128 bit? I thought it had a 128bit coprocessor... called something like "the velocity engine"... but I can't remember off hand. I remember the mac guy at the campus computer show last year... or the year before playing the unveiling video on a giant lcd monitor.

[anthrax1369]

oops sorry boot da mix up den, but hey it will still r0x0r and it will prolly be announced at something like 2-3gHz range

You are correct the G4 itself is 32-bit IIRC. The only 128-bit component is Altivec.

Altivec (The velocity engine) is apples implementation of SIMD. It is superior to but generally equivalent to SSE and 3Dnow!.

SSE2 is still not quite as good, but has a feature Altivec does not. SSE2 is a fully IEEE compliant flat addressing (and 3 operand?) FPU. This is something that Altivec doesn’t require since the PPC architecture already has this.
