The G5
Zombie9920:
I don't appreciate you editing my post Psyjax. Those tests were not gaming benchmarks. They were Cinebench scores. Cinebench tests the true performance of a CPU. You edited my post because the x86 rigs own the G5. In most cases a 2x G5 can't even beat a 1x3.2ghz P4.
Don't edit my posts asshole.
(EDIT) I see it was a mistake. My bad. Sorry for calling you an asshole.

Well, at this point, it's a war about one guys word again'st the other. Cinebench marks the Intel faster, and SPEC marks the G5 faster.
Whichever you choose to belive, I think you will note that very rarely does the Xeon rate significantly faster than the G5. And if Apple makes good on it's promiss for a 3Ghz by the end of the year, not to mention better (64Bit) optimization by developers, the speed issue will be moot.
On another point, you may notice that the G5's are actually very well priced compared to PC's in the same range. So you must admit, that if anythin, the G5 is a comparable, and competative product.
Personaly, I trust the SPEC marks
Zombie9920:
Oh the SPEC marks are real for the G5. However, the SPEC marks that Apple lists for the P4 are not accurate. In reality a 3.2ghz P4 w/Dual Channel DDR400 scores well over 1,200 Spec marks(Apple listed it in the 700-800 mark range). The G5 if I remember right was in the high 800 to low 900 range according to Apples benchmarks. That means that the P4 in normal conditions actually outperforms the G5 in highly optimized conditions(just like how the P4 does alot better in Quake III than Apple wants people to think).
The G5 is a competitive product, but it is not the best nor the fastest.
