Steve Jobs: G4 is slower than Intel CPUs
« on: September 17, 2003, 02:18:57 AM »
Hello
On today BBC Business Report, Steve Jobs said:
"Once Motorola PowerPC G4 is faster than
Intel X86 CPU, but now Intel had leapfrogged
Motorola. Therefore we had a joint project with
IBM to develop G5 and regain the leadership".
Why AmigaOne still use the old slow G4?
Also from News.com.com:
While Intel and AMD had increased its prediction
on 3rd Quarter result, IBM Microelectronic
(who manufacture PowerPC and G5) was forced
to fire 600 employees.
Why IBM had to fire the employees, if their
products are faster and better than Intel CPUs?
