    >Quite an achievment for Intel to produce a "next generation" architecture that's slower per cycle than the previous.

    Repeat after me: CPI != performance. #instructions/program != performance. cycles/second != performance. Performance = Time = 1/(CPI*(instructions/program)*(cycles/second)). Now go learn some more about processor design before you decide to lecture someone who does it for a living.

  6. Re:Well look at every new CPU to see if RISC matte on HP Introduces Final Processor in PA-RISC Family · · Score: 1

    Comparison of G5 P4 transistor counts
    IBM PPC 970 = 25M -> PPC 970FX = 28M
    Intel P4 "Northwood" = 28M -> P4 "Prescott" = 65M
    Comparison of G5 P4 spec performance
    SPECint2000
    3800 Pentium 4 E 1815 1793
    2200 PowerPC 970 1040 986
    So the G5 had between 90% and 45% of the transistors, to get, assuming the fastest 2.7ghz G5 has 1.25x the performance of a 2.2ghz, performance that still leaves the P4 1.4x faster, as well as being cheaper.

    RISC architecture has won over CISC, because the Pentium is RISC. It may have a CISC ISA, but that gets decoded to RISC micro-ops. One of the major reasons that all new CPUs use a RISC ISA as well as internal archicture, is because it's much simpler to design.

    The right/best move in a poker game is the one with the highest expected value. This can easily be calculated if you know the probabilities of your opponents cards/moves based on their's and your actions, the board and your cards. Note that this does in now way equate with being predictable, and it includes in it the ideas of check raising and bluffing, as well any other tactical move. If you opponents knew exactly what you were doing, they would only know that you were making a move that on average would make money.

    Realistically, how many people would be necessary to do a little tinkering?

    You don't seem to understand the big O notation.
    O(1) time means for *any* size input it's a constant time operation, likewise, O(lgN) scales as the log, and so on. So if you were trying to make a constant time multiply, you'd need an infinite lookup table, which does tend to present a slight engineering challenge. For factoring keys, sure you could just use a 2^1024 bit lookup table, but the big O notation would be used on the factoring algorithm for a general purpose n digit number, which would be something like O(e^(n)).
