IBM PowerPC 970 Architecture
riclewis writes "Hannibal from Ars Technica offers an explanation of some of the internals of the new IBM chip. It's certainly more powerful than anything on the desktop now, but by the time it's released a year from now, it looks to be middle-of-the-pack (which could still be a step up for Apple...) This excitement over the early release of hardware specs kinda reminds me of all the hype surrounding the Sony's Emotion Engine when it was introduced a couple years ago. In fact, some are suggesting the PPC 970 chip might be closely related to the PS3's 'Cell' processor..."
At subway, you get a sub prepared anyway you like, by the friendly, efficient staff. Choose from mouth-watering veggies, succulent meats and cheeses, and a variety of freshly-baked bread. Why not stop in today and pick up some subs for the whole family to enjoy. I suggest the Italian BMT, piled high with genoa salami, pepperoni, ham, and provolone cheese. Top it with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, a few spritzes of italian dressing, and a dash of salt and you've got a meal fit for king. Subway: eat fresh!

fo shizzle my nizzle click here to dispatch Jared and his formerly overweight goons to crack down on Subway if they don't honor the $3.49 Troll Tuesday deal. Make sure you provide the store number and address. Mine is store number 5839. Don't believe about the concept of the jared dispatch? Yahoo has an article about it here
Obvious comment time:
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those!
Please see my journal
Ars Technica has a history of being more than a little biased with Apple/PowerPC stories.

What the hell is the point of designing a computer that you know will not be able to compete performance-wise against the very market you are trying to win over? Why would I want to switch to a less powerful system? If it's the alleged ease-of-use vs. Windows, forget it. People would have already bought Macs in droves.
Here's my first real opportunity to burn some karma:
Any posts claiming Apple computers are slower than PCs shouldn't be labeled as trolls or flamebait.
