I dunno, same reason the G5 beats the shit out of the 64Bit FX at photoshop, and at Quake on the Opteron.
You did notice that the G5's PS7 scores were the best overal didn't you? The Opteron is the one that scored a bit better. Marginaly I might add.
Which leads me to wonder... why the hell is the Opteron, a lower end processor than the FX, scoring better than the FX? I thought these were acurate benchmarks
And I said before, the two main apps in the benchmarks were Word, and Premiere, two slow programms, one severely outdated.
And I did read the whole article, dosn't change the fact that the chart on thw Alianware systems reads 256MB video memory, and as I understand it they had RAID Hardrives as well.
I still cry bullshit.
Mainly, because I can dig up the old benchmarks Zombie posted which showd the AMD64 lagging way behind the P4 and the G5.
I still say, all the benchmarks, even the Apple ones are slanted, inacurate, etc.
You wanna know which is faster? See which one works the best for you. End of story.
