Power 5 to hit 3GHZ, but thats just for starters

And if Alan Redhouse wins in lottery a few times, we might see PPC970 on A2 already in y2005???

Well BBRV is talking PPC970 for the Pegasos III for next year.  I guess there's no use talking about the AmigaOne until OS4 is out  :-?

URL please?  I'm having difficulty finding any PPC results on the SPEC site.

http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/results/cpu2000.html#SPECfp

Just compare IBM (pSeries) to Intel.

Here's Apple's recent SPEC benchmarks (not revealed on SPEC.org just yet):

http://www.apple.com/powermac/performance/

With the Power4 being the big daddy to the PPC970, there's no doubt that the Power4+ is no slouch :-D

Perhaps you should pick a slightly more reputable source for your Power5 benchmark?

You talking to me?...  I didn't show any Power5 benchmarks.  And 'reputable' is irrelevant here since SPEC.org doesn't take any responsibility/accountability for results submitted READ THE DISCLAIMER!

Which page are you talking about?  The SPEC.org one, or the Apple one with the PPC970 benchmarks?  I threw the Apple one in to spice up the forum :-)

Of course I'd rather see Apple just submit their SPEC numbers to SPEC.org to avoid anymore 'conspiracy theories'  :-D

[AmigaMac]

he second URL you submitted has Power5 benchmarks, and the previous URL, have you read the specs of the machines?  The Power4 SPEC URL is just one of the ones I checked out...

I didn't actually inspect what the IBM pSeries machines had equipped, I just knew that the Power4s had to be in there somewhere.

At the end of the day, it's pointless to compare a desktop chip to a server chip since they both target 2 different markets.

Accountability" did not appear in http://www.spec.org/spec/disclaimer.html

Never said the word 'accountability' was in the disclaimer :-P
