Frankly, I don't think processor speed really matters past 1 GHz any more. They should concentrate on fasters BUS speeds and newer technology.

Yup, totally agree with you. They should concentrate on improving the archetecture of the chip itself and add more instructions and such. Why do you think a apple running at a lower clock speed can out perform a intel/amd chip?

better architecture.

well atleast intel finally supports DDR.


but clock speed is what consumers only care about. all marketing.
Cause all normal people look at is clock speed.
how fast is it?
"2.2ghz!"
"Damn thats fast, I'll buy that now..."

GOD!!! When will it stop!!

I want RAMBUS Memory dammit!

And about the 2GHz processors, because I just bought a damn 1.4GHz! Bastards!

I want to see 300MHz Bus w/ RAMBUS Memory and 30,000RPM HDs w/ 2 second seek times standard with 2GHz chips!

Its wonderful to dream huh?

Technically the AMD XP 2000+ chip is a 1666 MHz CPU. But that AAMD chip spanks the Intel P4 chip at 2000 MHz around.

I like the RISC and SPARC processors better than anything.

M5 Lite

Good luck bringing those out in the open everyday consumer market. Haha! I can just imagine going to Best Buy and finding a RISC machine.

Now that would make my day!

vuduvida

Almost all of Apple's systems are RISC based (but I realize you were referring to *real* computers )

jcl_cls01

Yeah tinman, like IBM RS6000's and Sun Microsystems machines. Apples are kool too.

nvpscore

Intel released the 2.2 ghz chip hahahahahahaha

Closer

2 second seek times would suck. :P
