Neither do I!

This fellow who write the article isn´t an expert on his area, I agree totaly with that.
But it seems very impressive if some outsider reads it so why bother ?

  :-D
All publicity is good publicity isn´t it?

The article states this:
"The 602 was used in stadium scoreboards, remote-controlled Transformers and the popular Nintendo 64."

The bit about N64 is simply not true, and I imagine most people on this board know this.  Doesn't do much for the reliability of the author.

Yeah so there are still stupid persons who think Mhz does matter ... well look at this rc5-64 speeds:

http://n0cgi.distributed.net/speed/query.cgi?cputype=79&cpumhz=2556&recordid=1&contest=rc5&multi=0

Pentium :

Record id | CPU Name | MHz | OS | Client | Speed
8390 | Intel Pentium 4 | 2556 | Windows 2000 | 2.8015 RC5 | 3,644,544

And now the PPC :

http://n0cgi.distributed.net/speed/query.cgi?cputype=99&cpumhz=1600&recordid=1&contest=rc5&multi=0

Record id | CPU Name | MHz | OS | Client | Speed
8437 | Power PC 7450/7455 G4 | 1600 | MacOS X 10.1 | 2.8016 RC5 | 16,991,648

So a 2556 Mhz Pentium proccessor ONLY does 3,644,544 Kkeys/sec , while THE LOWERED MHZ PPC
AT 1600 Mhz , DOES 16,991,648 Kkeys/sec !!
What i can say is that is is like 6 times faser then this stupid Puntium 4.

So F*ck Mhz intel-wintel-lovers...
