| | PowerPC G4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | PowerPC G4 is a designation used by Apple Computer to describe a fourth generation of PowerPC microprocessors. | | | On June 7, 2005, during the World Wide Developers Conference 2005 (WWDC2005), Steve Jobs announced that Apple will be dropping the PowerPC line of processors and will slowly move over to Intel processors starting in 2006, phasing out their use of the PowerPC architecture by 2007. | | | With the AltiVec unit, the 7400 microprocessor can do four-way single precision floating point math, or 16-way byte math in a single cycle. |

| | The individual G4 processor is certainly in the supercomputer range (for a single processor) -- but a single processing desktop machine isn't truly as fast as a brand new super computer, even if it is as fast as a super computer was just a few short years ago. | | | So I expect that the G4 performance in a computer systems will be significant. | | | Intel and IBM have both made Teraflop computers (using Pentiums and PPCs respectively -- with IBMs machine being superior to Intels, as is to be expected). |

| | JC's: The Motorola [7450] G4+ Processor Core -- Does It Make The Cut?: Intro and the Good Stuff |
| | This may not seem like a lot from the perspective of the x86 folk who are used to 10+ stage processors, but the gap is lessened by the above complex instruction stuff, which has a side effect of increasing the depth that the x86 processors have to be (by adding decode stage[s]). | | | G4+ ups that by including the capability to issue a branch and three other instructions per cycle. | | | Since P6 and K7 and soforth use a more complex instruction set, the processor actually internally issues a greater number of instructions (they like to call them "µops" or similar names) than it takes in externally. |

| | Fact is, with Mac OS X optimized to wring every last bit of performance out of the PowerPC G4 processor, you’ll notice improvements at every level. | | | The Velocity Engine processes data in huge 128-bit chunks, instead of the smaller 32-bit or 64-bit chunks used in traditional processors (it’s the 128-bit vector processing technology used in scientific supercomputers — except that we’ve added 162 new instructions to speed up computations). | | | To top it all, we’ve made it easy for software developers to optimise their applications to take advantage of the combined strengths of the PowerPC G4 processor, Mac OS X and OpenGL. |
