Now I know why I have Diesel in my car....😁

Have a full and healthy 2014.

Hi a brody, do you know the difference between Ford and Chevy, I do not really know what is the difference.

Just as a person who knows nothing about computers would say an Xbox uses a G5.

This is way over my head...

Benchmarks are all nice and good. The thing that really mattered was software being optimized for the components on the architecture.

As I remembered, there was more parallel processing done within the G5 CPU than the Intel CPU processors of the time.

Of course if none of the software available took advantage of that parallel processing, no benchmark would show you reality.

And by the time the Core2Duo and Xeon got to be 64 bit, all of it didn't matter anyway. 64 bit on board processing was supported, and that was easier to support than Altivec or other magic that the G4 and G5 did. Furthermore, some software which was held back in Rosetta compatibility couldn't even take advantage of any Altivec. Once software became Intel native, that problem went away.

Wrong again.

Wrong again? What do you mean by that? Did you even read what I wrote?

Fine, I'll say wrong again....stop making it a p* match, and explain what is wrong. Otherwise don't post. If you don't have something nice to say, don't post.

Get off your high horse, and read what I said. I said "IF." How can a hypothetical condition be wrong. Such a situation can occur. If a software can't approach the Altivec vector processing, it can never truly gage how fast Altivec will be for software that does. That's what I mean to say when I said what I said. Can you prove that your benchmark software took advantage of Altivec? Can you prove your software took advantage of the 64 bit capabilities in the G5? If not, get off your high horse, and don't believe everything your benchmark software said, unless you wrote it yourself.

Please read my prior posts, I have already explained why you don't understand the discussion.

Can you prove that my benchmark software doesn't take advantage of Altivec? Can you prove my software doesn't take advantage of the 64 bit capabilities in the G5?

I don't have time to do that now. If you wish to pay me I would. But my point is, you have in other threads ignored how some people may not have Intel native application compatible documents. That's essential before anyone can upgrade. Do what you will. But please I don't have time to waste anymore arguing with you.
