RS64 IV is a multithreaded PowerPC processor. It is based on prior versions, which were used in the pSeries and iSeries servers. The RS64 IV is a map to CMOS 8S technology with a few microarchitectural changes and a few cycle-time optimizations. These have increased the clock frequency, improved the performance, and shrunk the chip size. Because these processors are used only in iSeries and pSeries commercial servers and not in any workstations, they are optimized solely for commercial server workloads. Multithreading is the most unique feature of this processor, and the orientation to server applications has led to a unique approach. Because the threads look like multiple processors, no application changes are needed. By keeping the number of threads small, the addition to the chip area is kept small, and impacts on software scalability are minimized. By keeping chip area small, implementing coarse-grained rather than fine-grained multithreading, and implementing a priority mechanism, single-thread execution performance and chip cost are kept competitive with non-multithreaded processors. In conclusion, when compared with other performance-improvement techniques, multithreading yields an excellent ratio of performance gain to implementation cost.
Advantages: Plenty of Scope for improvement Disadvantages: You can't get one for a P.C. - shame
...In recent trials the Motorola G4 Processor for Mac (running at 450 Mhz) out performed a P.C.
running 2 thats....... TWO 1Gig Mhz Pentium III processors. I don't understand why P.C. owners are son fixated with Mhz - I suppose they need to run DOS so that Windows will RUN or is that crawl.
C:/>
CISC - Complex Instruction Set Computing
= 30 - 40 time more code to process than an equivelent RISC Processor
Reduced Instruction Set Computing
Go Figure
And 1 Gig Mhz is coming soon.

Advantages: Price, performance, reliability, easy to install Disadvantages: Some minor incompatibility issues
...After years as the underdog, AMD's Athlon processor finally helped AMD to bite significantly into Intel's dominance of the PCprocessor market. Today still, the vast majority of new PC's are sold using Intel's 'Pentium' processors, but the clever money is on Athlon poweredPC's.
The Althlon Thunderbird is a cheaper version of the full blown Athlon processor - noticeably cheaper, but still packing similar sort of performance. These processors have proved to be considerably better than Intel's Pentium III, and solid performers against the Pentium IV. Intel Pentium IV's beat equivalent Athlon's in terms of performance, but only video editors and graphic designers are likely to notice any difference. This is because today's PC's have processors so powerful it is the software which is having to catch up. Indeed, Hard disk and memory speeds...

Advantages: Excellent DVD quality, ideal for long jouneys! Disadvantages: Quite expensive.
...This laptop is one of a kind at 1 inch thick, damn apple have made a good job of it too. This dream machine comes in two different ways, one with 400 mhz and the other with 500mhz, there's one problem though the 500 mhz laptop is alot more than the 400 mhz, about £600 difference.The machine comes at quite a hefty price being around £1900, but prices may depend on the shop, the 500 mhz is around £2500 but has a bigger disk drive and more memory.The Titanium powerbook G4 can play DVD's at great quality on a sceen just a centimetre thick!
