I was just reading an article over at IGN.com, and this article compared the Playstation2 and Gamecube hardware capabilites, and effectively raised the question, which is better? A particular part of the article jumped out at me, and made me think. Here is the particular part:
<< "Gamecube's Gekko is the most powerful general-purpose CPU ever in a console. The PowerPC alone is so much better and faster structurally that Gekko not only is much, much faster than the PS2's main CPU but every bit as fast as a 733 MHz Pentium," >>
If I'm understanding this correctly, the PowerPC processor within the Gamecube is rated at 405Mhz. Why can't Intel and AMD takes some looks at the structure of the PowerPC processor and implement it in their future processors??
