Careful with theoretical performance claims when practical performance indicates otherwise.


It's a matter of opinion... practical and/or theoretical.


Are you saying performance is a matter of opinion? In that case, everything is. Its more of a matter of what applications you use. The PPC is different to x86 and is faster or seems to do things faster in some cases but in others the x86 blows it away. Such as, compiling was said to work faster on pentiums than PPCs in a test once. I think PPCs may be better at floating point? or is the other way around, not sure... anyway the point is, their both good and bad at different things.
