Ars Dissects POWER5, UltraSparc IV, and Efficeon

Posted by timothy on from the pirate-noise-plural dept.

Burton Max writes "There's an interesting article here at Ars about the POWER5, UltraSparc IV, and Efficeon CPUs. It's a self-styled "overview of three specific upcoming processors: IBM's POWER5, Sun's UltraSparc IV, and Transmeta's Efficeon. " I found the insights as to Efficeon (successor to Crusoe) to be particularly good (although it paints a sad picture of Transmeta, methinks)."

    That's 70,000 mean, ignorant, and hateful people. Just about everything they are saying is a lie, and they are organized by fringe neo-soviet fascist groups. Good thing that 99.5% of the British people are too smart to be in this group.
