I have no G5s, so no data to compare.

Given that those Intels were completed for a few hundred $$$ each,  
the price/performance of those Intels would far exceed the price/ 
performance of a G5, even on the off-hand chance that the G5 could  
turn in "wall-clock" numbers which exceeded those Intels (unlikely,  
but possible, I guess).
