What kind of moronic post was that? it had nothing to do with the subject or even something relating to computers in general if there is a town missing an idiot it must be yours as only a idiot would make such a post.
When I was talking about the speed of the processor I was talking about the processor by itself if there were no difference in the hardware that each processor used (lets say someone under-clocked the core duo,its ram,bus and turned off one of the processors) and they had a test between the two using only Raw data like...calculating pi to the 3 hundred thousandth digit. (so far I think we have like 30 million digits in pi and NO disernable pattern yet.)I don't care about all you people's OH IT HAS TO BE DONE IN FLOPS but it doesn't becuase the processor does spit out data at a certian interval its called a cycle what I was trying to do is find out how much data it spits out each cycle not caring about the data After it leaves the processor just a test of raw computational abilities. everyone on here clearly shares the setiment of "I don't care if its a piece of crap processor as long as its faster" thats like saying I don't care if its a windows based OS as long as it doesn't crash, get spyware etc...I remember a time where you couldn't udder the words intel and faster without getting flammed for decades. hell, I remember a time when IBM was evil. some say the intel thing is like IBM, its not at all IBM was like dell/gateway/alienware etc... they desinged their cases and bought various third party comptuer parts and shoved it in there. until they stopped and helped Apple in designing the G3, Apple has from the beginning designed all their processors in conjunction with another company that manufactures them for Apple. That is until Intel which gave us a LAPTOP processor to put into our mac's because it was faster than their desktop processor what crappy design team came up with a processor that for every cycle of data ther would be FIFTEEN idle cycles of no data? If apple chose AMD or (better yet) the Cell Processor I wouldn't complain or bitch or **** like that I would be like FINALLY Apple has gotten rid of the G5 and is ready to smoke intel with their new AMD's.
Speaking of the G5, I predict there will be a quad-core Intel processor clocked at 3Ghz introduced by the end of the year. (preferably not the M)
