I don't see it happening. Apple has done so many things to make Intel chips look inferior, that they would be shooting themselves in the foot. One of the key things in business is the ability to separate one thing from another. While Pixar may have switched to Intel from the Sun platform, I...

If thats the case though, abotu the pipeline not needing to flush out when there is a misprediction, then why haven't they used that before?

eh, time will tell, thats why i asked the question in here. Alot of people talk like they know what their talking about. Intel always had problems with piplines needing to be flushed, just that this looks only to add to their problems.

Not that easy. They are sending two threads through a pipeline at once. The branch predition has like a certain percentage of errors, and when those errors happen, the entire pipeline has to be flushed. If there are two threads, that means its twice as likely to come across an error. There is...

I have done some reading about the new Hyperthreading tecchnology by Intel, and I was wondering that since it runs two instruction threads down the same pipeline, does that increase the chance of a branch prediction error? And if it does, does that mean both threads going down the pipeline would...

Did anyone go to the presentation of MSN for Mac OS X at Macworld? If you did, what are the details of what they are planning on doing?

http://news.com.com/2010-1071-979757.html?tag=fd_nc_1 According to this review, the new Powerbook isn't that much better then a similarly configured Vaio that costs $600 less. For that price though, you don't get 802.11g card, or DVD Burner, or a 17 inch display. Any thoughts?

It only works the first tiem though. If you try to log on again, it will refuse.

Gedankenspiel, and Toast you two need to get your heads out of your butts. Toast, Apple doesn't need to make products for your personal every need. The beauty of Apple software lies in the simplicity of it. If you want to run a Mac, and have alot of audio features, download Audion from Panic. It...

I find this very hard to belive, because I'm running Jaguar on my 600MHz iBook, and its running like a champ. The only program that ever gives me the spinning wheel is Internet Explorer PERIOD. The only complaint I have is with application startup time, but, I can live with that. I just...

I think its funny that Itanium hasn't said anything about the time machine since he was the only one that believed it existed.

You are obviously right. Because everyone knows that Microsoft has that new technology to go back in time. How else would you explain how they had a huge event out of its release, and had celebrities going up there to demonstrate the Tablet PC, as well as having CEO's from every OEM that is...

The date for the Tablet Edition of Windows XP has been set for a while. If they did indeed just make an official announcement on that day, then there would have been next to no chance of it just barely making it to Comp USA over the weekend for me to mess with. It was all orchestrated.
