... The PPC vector performance difference was mostly due to the fact that the OSX version of the vector add-on is altivec accelerated, while the x86 version...
... Just to set the record straight here, SSE and Altivec are just different implementations of the same thing. That said, I realize that in Io, vector...

... Well believe what you will, but Altivec is by no means faster than SIMD on x86. His processor may perform better than the machine used in the x86 test. I...
