Why don't you just admit that PowerPC really isn't that good?
Because, personally, I find that my 1GHz G4 is actually quite usable for most tasks up to and including modest web-browsing, and actually
better at them than a higher-clocked x86 contemporary?
There are awesome (or lousy) CPU's under any architecture.
There are indeed - which is exactly why I find x86 supremacists to be so aggravating.
68k died a premature death.
That it did...
btw. How good was the PA-RISC which Commodore would have adopted?
Good question. Guess we'll never know, since PA-RISC was one of many architectures that got the shaft when everybody decided Itanium was The Future Of All Computing and it never made it past 1.1GHz, but considering that HP still sold them (even while pushing their Itanium line) through 2008, it can't have been
that bad.
