JEMC said: I thought you meant programs that are of common use, like web browsers, Office or the like, so thanks to putting it in perspective. But given that IBM left the "home PC" market and focused on developing supercomputers, isn't that difference something to be expected? Their processors aren't developed with Office/browsers in mind and neither are those programse made to take advantage of their processors' superiority (if there is any). |
That's it... all general programs you have in your SO (Windows, Linux, etc) runs better on x86 (AMD and Intel CPUS).
And remember IBM used AMD/Intel CPU for "Home PC" too... the PowerPC was just for servers, supercomputers or Mac (now you know why Apple choose Intel over IBM for CPU after some time).
The Intel CPU is just too powerful... no other CPU comes close in Home PC.
