"In “SPEC rate” tests, the dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 completed the set of floating-point calculations 95 percent faster than the Pentium 4 — based system and 42 percent faster than the dual Xeon-based workstation. Integer performance was also far superior to the Pentium 4 — based system and 3 percent faster than the dual Xeon-based system.
In single-processor tests, the Power Mac G5 completed the set of floating-point calculations 21 percent faster than the Pentium 4 — based system and 30 percent faster than the Xeon-based workstation, while it performed slightly below both systems when executing simple integer calculations.
”World’s fastest” based on SPEC® CPU 2000 benchmark results and leading professional application performance tests against 3 GHz Pentium 4-based Dell Dimension 8300 and 3.06 GHz Dual Xeon-based Dell Precision 650. SPEC® CPU 2000 benchmarks run with GCC 3.3 and independently tested, full report available from Veritest.
