I've heard the following, to add to that list:
Pentium/Pentium II -- PowerPC
Pentium III -- PowerPC G3
Pentium IV -- PowerPC G4
This is SO far away from accurate I'm not even going to comment on it.
I'd bet a buck there's a LOT of disagreement
on the list. Unfortunately,
there's just no adequate way to compare the full range of recent and current
mprocessors by looking for strict equivalencies. It would be interesting to
see a chart covering the relative relationships of processors in PeeCees,
Macs, and Minis (including Sun, SGI, RS/6000, etc.).
I agree...They have wildly varying relative strengths and
weaknesses...a meaningful general comparison is all but impossible.
