New PowerMac G5 Benchmarks

Apple published the new PowerMac G5 benchmarks. According to them, the new dual G5 is up to two times faster than the fastest Pentium 4 on certain rigged applications tests. Apple is famous for the most hyper-bolic unscientific benchmarks known to man. Using different applications and settings to put the Mac in the most favorable light.

For performance freaks looking for value, the Athlon 64 is by far the best way to go. But for computer ethusiasts who care about having the best OS on the market for daily computing and are sick of spyware and viruses, the Mac is for you.

I'll put it this way, since I got my Mac Mini a few months ago. I spend 95% of the computing time on the Mac even though its a paltry 1.25 ghz vs. my PC's 2.66 ghz. OS X IS worth it.
