But don't believe your Mac-loving friends that an X GHz PPC is better
than a 2X or 3X GHz P4. It isn't true, or at least depends on your
application.
Actually it is true. The
architecture is much better and more efficient than Pentiums. The G3
that you used in your benchmarks is very old. Even low-end macs (ala
Mac mini) use the G4, which was a substantial improvement over the
G3... and the G5 was an even bigger improvement over the G4 and is
truly amazing (and even it is built-into the low-end iMacs). Of
course, all computers and processors will have advantages and
disadvantages in certain areas which can be shown with a specific
application, so a general and outdated comparison like this is really
distorting reality and not very helpful.
