G3 procs were fast, but their fpu perf was worse than K6 at the time. G4 was much better in that respect. And the 360 melting was a problem because the ppc chipset was so hot at the time.

"Uncle At Nintendo" aka "Miyamotos RGB NES" spent some time working some place that did off-warranty 360 repairs. part of the problem was the semiconductor dies being off-center on the chip itself, coupled with the x-clamp mounting system. It would put differential pressure on the chip causing one side to pop off. part of their repair procedure was to stuff cut-up credit card bits underneath the heat sink to even out the pressure.

G4 was much better in that respect. rrod was the gpu not cpu, which was on a seperate chipand had its own heatsink, problem was with non-lead solder which hadnt been properly applied rather than a proper "overheating" issue. it used a 3 core cell cpu without the whole slave/controller setup of the cell proper.
