Madison IA64 Released -- Fastest CPU Ever

[Lord Merciless]

Using Linux for mission-critical systems is nothing short of corporate suicide.

BTW, I fail to understand UR's hate for Itanium: it is perfectly designed to run his beloved Linux.

[monolith94]

G5 will be fast enough for me.

[Asher]

a Pentium II would be fast enough for you.

[Paul Hanson]

Are you knocking my beloved Pentium II?

[Skanky Burns]

Everyone is knocking your Pentium II.

[Paul Hanson]

You'll live to regret it.

hi ,

only six ram , ...... apple has 8 , ......

have a nice day

That's 6 MEGABYTES, of L3 cache. Apple has 0 on the G5.

The "8" figure is for how much RAM the G5 can address, which is 8GB. The Itanium is FAR higher than that.

In fact, right now it's physically limited by how many slots they can fit in the tower, so it's:

24GB of DDR memory

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 24 > 8?

[Paul Hanson]

Nah. You're wrong.

[monolith94]

"a Pentium II would be fast enough for you."

Wrong. A Pentium II wouldn't be able to play Max Payne, while my current G4 does, and does so very well. Considering the fact that G5s are faster than G4s (even you must concede this point) it stands to reason that G5s will be able to play games better than G4s...

they dont have zero , look it up , eight , .....

and btw , whatz the max aplication in lets say a windows enviroment , .... in megabytes , ....

I'm glad to see you're starting to use some reasoning.

So why buy the G5 if the G4 plays Max Payne?

Reasoning is fun.

Not to mention, this isn't ***** 266MHz DDR RAM like Apple's G4 "L3 cache" was. This is on-die (physically on the chip) cache with tens of gigabytes of bandwidth rather than 2GB/s...

and btw , whatz the max aplication in lets say a windows enviroment , .... in megabytes , ....

Um. In Windows XP 64-bit edition, the maximum would be 2.89x10¹⁹ MB.

BTW, OS X is still 32-bit. Hell, even OS 10.3 is 32-bit. What good is a 64-bit processor if your OS can only deal with 32-bit?

I bet 10.4 will be 64-bit. And that'll be another $100...

[Asher]

Apple's websites mention absolutely nothing about L3 cache, which they certainly would mention.

The G5 has zero L3 cache. Stop trying to bull**** everyone.

L3 Cache (MB)
G4: 2MB (DDR266 RAM...system RAM for what PCs have had for years...what a joke )
G5: 0MB

hi ,

who is talking about G4 , .....

look at the future , its G5 now , ....

link , so you dont know apples site , ....

allas at your special request >>> www.apple.com

and you are sure about your calculations , ..... no way they are going to beat 999mb , ..... so one of the two is wrong , and huh , under what OS , ....

have a nice day
