This is funny. Why don't we compare the chip that Motorola might release
sometime this year with the chip that Intel released two years ago. Ok the P7
@ ???Mhz will trounce the 620 if and when the 620 actually gets someone to
build a system around it. ( Did Apple already anounce they weren't going to
support the 620 because it wasn't backwards compatable with the 604 ??? )

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving
to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe
trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is
winning.
