...(AAPL's) G3 achieved a throughput score of 89 Mbps per second, faster than a Dell Server 2200/300, which achieved a throughput score of 83 Mbps per second. "
What say ye now Alomex ?
You just don't get. The contest between Apple and Dell is over.
Seven years ago, this contest was fought with speed, prices, software availability, easy to program, expansion capabilities. Wintel won, Apple lost.
Wintel is now a standard and to dislodge it you need to be twice as good. (Somebody out there remember the name of the economist who observed that dislodging a standard required, as a rule of thumb, a price/performance advantage of 2?)
I welcome the news of fast Macs, because their new niche role as a graphic workstation manufacturer necessitates speedy machines. |
