Apple has a history of exaggeration in their ads. My recollection is that when the PC mags would do actual comparisons, the Macs never lived up to the hype. Back when Apple was hyping the newly introduced dual G4s as supercomputers that could stomp any single proc Intel, MaximumPC magazine put the dual G4 up against a dual Xeon and a dual AMD. The Mac came in dead last by a very large margin (the Xeons won).
