How fast is the 440EP comparitively?
« on: September 20, 2008, 03:57:39 PM »
Ok guys, the news is really killer! But Im wondering how fast it is comparatively in terms of cpu horsepower. Will it for instance be faster than my Sony Vaio TX 1.2 Ghz Centrino? Or challenge my Mac Mini? I guess its slow by todays standards, but Ive been looking for some sort of simple bar chart that shows where the cpu speed is in modern terms, perhaps comparing to 68060, 603e, g3, g5 etc and the latest pentiums :-)

I know it really doesnt matter since the OS is so fast, but its a must know thing for me! I will buy one regardless though.

shame they didnt make it with a bit more of a modern cpu - is there a good reason for this? I guess g3 etc is not compatible? but what is the fastest possible PPC that would be compatible?

Anyway since it outperforms 68060 and 603e, that alone is a good enough reason for me to "upgrade" to it, that and the immense portability + non hackedness. I will try to build it into a gamecube case maybe :-)
