IBM is extremely capable of turning out lots and lots of high quality PowerPC chips. You are forgetting about IBM, Apple’s other partner in the PowerPC design alliance. IMHO, they’re only saving grace at the moment is MacOS X. Though now they’re showing Q3 benchmarks on their page now, the framerates are still way under what x86’s are doing with similar graphics hardware. It makes one think that the performance hit between versions was intentional on Adobe’s part. Things like blurring, etc are no brainers and should rarely if ever need to change unless its for the better. Other than that, by the looks of it, we have beaten Sun Microsystems to 1 GHz (a megahertz myth and concept flaw x86ers like to believe in and worship by)!6.0.
>Ain’t going to happen!!! And furthermore I am quite happy with the PPC techno, but Motorola does need to get off their rear and make the G5 a reality to the consumer before summer.
