Mac G5 cant beat Athlon 64

<< < (2/3) > >>

Zombie9920:
Actually the benches I posted had the Pentium 4 and G5 thrashing the Athlon 64. The Athlon FX performed around 5-7% better than the 3.2ghz P4 at 32-bit(at a much higher price mind you) and around 10-14% better than the G5. The G5 thrashed the x86 CPU's at photoshop and did slightly better at one other bench(I don't remeber which one) but that was about it. However, the higher numbers don't really mean that much because they all did extremely well with everything that was thrown at them. The G5 isn't the top dawg but it is competitive.  

In my opinion there is a point to where something is so fast that speed differences no longer matter.

My CPU loyality lies in the Pentium 4 2.4c right now because it is reasonably priced and it overclocks to 3.2ghz with no hitch. You get high end performance for not such a high end price.

Who cares if the G5 is a little slower than the AMD/Intel processors. It doesn't matter.

Well yes it does matter considering apple PC's are fucking expensive and they lie about how the G5 is the fastest processor.

I do disagree with Apple blatently lying to the world about their computers and the processors in their computers. That is a corporation for you though.

Not at the time of release. Back then it was the fastest  

fucking progress.

In any case, I still like the Apple user experience better than Windoze or Linux. Expensive yes, but it's worth it IMHO.

Yes. Buying a g4 was the best computer investment i have made. I enjoy using it, and will never go back to windows. I dont care if a pc gets a few more frames per second, or can apply a photoshop filter 2 seconds faster.

And those tests are crap. Premiere 6 for osx crap. Which filters did they use for photoshop? I know this has been beaten into the ground, but dif filters function dif on dif platforms, it depends on how it is written and what proc its running under. I could grab 10 filters optimized for osx and smoke any pc. Does that prove anything?

Eh. it doesnt really matter actually. I still prefer a mac over a pc.
