wanamino Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Browsing the other day, looking for info about linux in the ps3 i found this: http://terrasoftsolutions.com/products/pow...ion/intro.shtml It's seems that they are using the g5 to make a near PowerMac but with open source soul to be used as unix workstation. Maybe a new machine to start thking in...osxppc? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109914-quad-g5-strikes-back/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPhoneTom Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Browsing the other day, looking for info about linux in the ps3 i found this: http://terrasoftsolutions.com/products/powerstation/breakdown.shtml It's seems that they are using the g5 to make a near PowerMac but with open source soul to be used as unix workstation. Maybe a new machine to start thking in...osxppc? I dont think so. What could be the advantage in using an PPC-CPU these days? I mean we already have very fast x86 Core2 Duo/Quad/what-to-come and AMD X2/Phenom/what-to-come cpus, and you are completly free to use whatever system you need...so why to buy an system based on an almost death platform? just my 2 cent Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109914-quad-g5-strikes-back/#findComment-778985 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanamino Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Think in reliability terms, todays x86 cpu's are in fact a risc design with a x86 translator inside for compatibility, in terms of computing perfomances, optimized code for ppc with altives it's very fast, and well, i think that's good to have many options to choose, like many years ago Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109914-quad-g5-strikes-back/#findComment-779427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
