A great series of deep dives from the 2000s by Jon Stokes: https://arstechnica.com/features/2004/08/ppc-1/ https://arstechnica.com/features/2004/08/ppc-1/ Comparison between the Pentium 4 and the Power PC G4e: https://archive.arstechnica.com/cpu/01q4/p4andg4e2/m-p4andg4e2-1.html https://archive.arstechnica.com/cpu/01q4/p4andg4e2/m-p4andg4... Stokes had so much material on these deep dives, he collected it into a book, "Inside the Machine": https://nostarch.com/insidemachine.htm https://nostarch.com/insidemachine.htm Chapter 7 is the PowerPC vs Pentium 4 analysis.
