Apple and its dual-core option
Apple and its dual-core option
08/22/2004 11:29 AMAccording to an <A
HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/18/dual-cores_detailed
/">article</A> published Wednesday in The Register, it
seems that Freescale Semiconductor Inc., a subsidiary of Motorola
Inc., is set to unveil a dual-core processor at Microprocessor Forum
in San Jose in October.
"Freescale's dual-core PowerPC is expected to sport an on-board
memory controller, this one capable of supporting DDR 2 SDRAM, along
with a Gigabit Ethernet controller. It is also expected to use the
Rapid IO bus, according to past Motorola pronouncements, though MPX
bus support is also anticipated to maintain backward compatibility…
(with speeds) beyond 2GHz."
Of course, this all sounds great, but with all the chatter regarding
dual-<I>processor</I> PowerBooks, this dual-core nonsense
is bound to cause some confusion. So, allow me to explain, as best I
understand it, anyway.
The main issue here is heat. As we know, a single processor produces a
heck of a lot of warmth, and the issue of cooling has been a major
bone of contention in Apple’s hardware. As it goes with the current
offerings, the faster the chip, the hotter the output, making it
incredibly difficult for Apple to implement either dual G4 or G5
architecture into its current line of laptops.
That being said, dual-core processors represent an interesting option
— or at least a stop-gap between the PowerBook-friendly G5.
Dual-cores can process two times more data per clock, which ultimately
allows the whole system to perform much better when running under
processor-intensive applications.
Furthermore, both cores have their own cache. Level 2 and level 3
cache have always been an issue with G4 processors, as their general
clock and bus speed hindrances have been compensated for with a fair
amount of cache.
However, as with the G5, dual G4 and basically every new chip that may
appear the horizon is the architecture of Freescale’s current MPX bus.
Since Apple’s not likely to overhaul its flagship laptop (i.e., with
RapidIO interconnect) until it is capable to sport a G5, so the
dual-core may be as crippled as the DDR SDRAM that currently pumps
through the PowerBook.
Dual-core may not mean much to the PowerBook as it stands, but it
definitely spells good things to come for the PowerPC processor
— both from Motorola and (hopefully, eventually) IBM. Since
keeping PowerBook's cool and kernel-panic free is of utmost
importance, dual-core could very well represent the future of Apple's
professional portables.
I can see it now: <B>One Apple, Two Cores.</B>

Motherboard meltdown
Motherboard meltdown
07/25/2004 08:56 AMMy motherboard completely melted this morning. One minute I'm
computing fine, the next my screen is frozen. On a cold boot, it can't
get past the opening bios welcome screen. I can't even enter the bios
setup page. Heck, it was almost a year old, so it lasted longer than
most of my electronic equipment. And I was in the market to spend a
few hundred dollars getting myself back to where I was anyway.
Sigh....
On the meltdown at the Guardian...
On the meltdown at the Guardian...
03/14/2003 12:59 PMMad outbursts in national newspapers are like the rays of sunshine
glinting through the storm clouds of international news. It's lovely
to be able to sense the person who wrote the news, and get a sense of
his or her vibrant perspective on the events they're writing about. It
adds interest to information that you might otherwise wish to totally
disregard. Like for example information on Cricket! So let's turn
towards today's cricket report on Guardian Unlimited. It
starts reasonably enough:
"It's really simple: India are already through, New
Zealand have to win."
But then it goes a little pear-shaped:
"Meanwhile, have you ever thought what sort of life is
this and what the hell am I doing boarding a train for Moorgate at
6.30 In the morning and then standing around for ages waiting for a
tube while staring at a sign telling you that if you wait for four
minutes you can board a train to Uxbridge I'd rather wait four hours
for a journey with the Grim Reaper quite frankly and then you get to
work and then there's this and I know the cricket's good and all that
but I've got out of the wrong side of bed this morning and in any case
it's not as if I'll write a cracking match report and then get
rewarded by being sent on a wonderful assignment around the world
because I'll be very surprised if any of my bosses will read any of
this let's be honest they won't although on the other hand that's
probably just as well.."
And that's before the weblog-style grumpy commentary kicks in! I
mean - classy, fascinating comments emerge like, "Asger Kring works
for a Copenhagen media company that publishes several newspapers. "Do
you want me to inquire whether they are looking for an over-by-over
commentary guy?" Yes. Yes. YES! YES! YES!!!! Not that I'm
desperate or anything." By the ninth over, people are writing in with
their improvisational 'hit the keyboard with your fists' comments:
"I must have a different keyboard-banging technique from
Leonard," types John Kirby with his big fists. "I get
'ytcdskljojnvds.lkzsedli;j un fesalmjni vfesa;lmija;mju fceiv
faewj;omivrewaomiu; svfeomijuhlvesmu;oilgvrstmjloivtrseomiju,' which
looks rather like Finnish."
God, my sides would be shaking hard as Shakin' Stephens if it
wasn't (as Matt has pointed out to me) potentially a 'wacky' Red Nose Day thing. Wouldn't
that just drain all the life out of it? Like all the life out
of it? I hate Red Nose Day. It's so desperate and tiring and forced.
And they think they're being so cool and down with the kids. Grrr.
Wankers.
