POWERPC CHIPS BEAT INTEL AT SPEED

The PowerPC alliance between IBM, Apple and Motorola has inched ahead 
of Intel's next microprocessor generation with its G3 family chip, 
code- named Arthur (for the 6th century British king), which is 
slightly faster and cheaper to manufacture than Intel's Pentium II 
chip (code-named Klamath), due out in the second quarter of this year. 
Another high-performance PowerPC chip, code-named Mach 5, is planned 
for summer or fall release, says an IBM VP.  Arthur, with initial 
speeds of 250 MHz, is purported to be 90% faster than the current 
PowerPC 603c chip, and slightly faster than Klamath. The fact that the 
PowerPC chips generate much less heat than the Pentium chips will make 
them ideal for laptops, a market that will be critical for Apple in 
the next couple of years.

Jednoduse receno, nastupce procesoru 603 je rychlejsi nez soucasna 
604, ale cena zustava stejna !!!  ...super,ze ?        DEMCA
