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

[mikeymike]

The Power5 is a multicore server chip which is incredibily powerful and leaves a Pentium IV in the dust even if it ran at 12 Ghz.

Well, it hasn't yet, and that's matching clock for clock.

A 1.5GHz POWER4+ can outgun a P4 running at 3.2GHz...
And thats on SPEC FP marks where Intel gets to throw in it's favorite compiler...

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

-edit-

I've found a few results, amusing:

Intel P4 CFP2000 benchmark

IBM Power4 CFP2000 benchmark

Btw, you need to read the specs of the machines first!

[mikeymike]

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

[mikeymike]

The 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...
