"1 GHZ AMD is MUCH MUCH VERY MUCH SLOWER than a 1 GHZ G4"
My friend is toying with assembler on both...
So far it seems that they are pretty equal per Mhz on traditional math operations. When AMD runs out of registers, G4 seems to be a little bit faster.
And they both are 50% faster than Pentium3 per mhz ....
He says that PPC is a bit boring because he does not need to do any traditional x86 tricks to circumvent the lack of registers.... :-P
