han the G4,
but it has the bottleneck of only two pipelines, whereas the G4 has 8 pipelines
moving more data. It has to do with the design of the processor. The G4
also had more L1,L2, and L3 cache, which boosted performance. This created
the industry term, The Megahertz Myth. Clock speed was not the only determining
factor in proformance. AMD also jumped on this. Because of AMD's designs,
they started rating their processors by stating that they were the equivalent
to a higher speed Pentium 4 processor, even though the clock speed was slower
than the P4.
A lot of people say it's a lie, that if a computer has a faster CPU than
it is faster. The truth is, clock speed is not the only factor in how fast
a computer can process a task.
We could debate it until the cows come home, but I think we have better things
to do.
By the way here is a couple of Ideas for your old G4; )
