ArsTechnica Compares the P4 and G4e: Part II

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the start-your-head-spinning dept.

Deffexor writes "It looks like Hannibal of ArsTechnica fame has put Part 2 of his original comparison article between Intel's P4 and the Apple/Motorola G4e. In a nutshell, this second article covers the execution core, the AltiVec unit and SSE2, as well as a myriad of other interesting factoids. An interesting read, if not a little technically intense for those of us with less than a CE/EE degree. Have at it boys!"

    ...I do have more then CE, two letters even, namely MCSE...
    A = A + B is supposed to make sense even if B isn't equal to zero

    That doesn't apply. The important formula here is that A>=A+B if and only if B is non-negative. MCSE-CE = MS, and since you didn't understand the full article, this implies that the addition of MS to a title actually reduces knowledge, not increases it.
