Relevant to us?: "head-to-head against the same PCs, in a large series of Photoshop tests the dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 is 2.2 times faster than the 3GHz Pentium 4-based system and almost twice as fast as the dual 3.06GHz Xeon-based system". The little bugger is into crystal gazing too: "The PowerPC G5 features an innovative three-component branch prediction logic to reduce pipeline bubbles and maximize processor efficiency. The success or failure of each prediction is captured in three 16K branch history tables�local, global, and selector�that are used to improve the accuracy of future branch predictions." But as it has four thermal zones and whisper quiet fans it will be one hell of a trick to insert it into a PowerBook!! Still I'd like one.
