Re: But, clock for clock, isn't the PPC processor pretty fast?

Yep, just like the MII, P3, and the K6-III. Overall performance is very important with nominal clock speed nearly as important (so P4 would sell better than its performance capability would normally achieve, if not for its high manufacturing and platform costs).

But low clock speed and insufficient IPC performance to make up for it? Not good enough in markets as competitive as today's.

Regards,

Dan
