Macintouch says Apple facility is now producing 8,000 iMacs a day. That figure is a hell of a lot better, if it were true. Running 7 days a week, that means 56,000 weekly. Andrew

Intel and BYTE: and also just the opposite, Intel instructed BYTE to re-run all the tests under conditions that were more favorable to the Pentium and the results still indicated huge performance advantages on the PPC's side. Megahert for megahert, the PPC is indisputably higher performing. Given that there are a large number of variables making up actual real-world performance (very important things like compiler quality, programming efficiencies, bus speeds, I/O, graphics display, etc. etc.) Wintel-based machines can hold their own in many situations and outperform in many as well. Some of this is because Apple approached the OS from the standpoint that the user should be in control (for instance, the MacOS burns a lot of cycles waiting VERY attentively for the user to move the mouse). Many other bottlenecks will be overcome as Apple improves logic boards and moves to MacOS X. Hopefully Apple will continue to treat the user with respect.
