Apple gets beat again

Why is a single 2Ghz Operton faster than TWO 2Ghz G5s?
Much more optimization need to be done.
However it points to another thing. Crappy software.
It's not suprise that Premiere and Word suck.
Quake numbers were fine. Photoshop were decent.
Apple did the right thing in running A"slowbe" out of the Digital Video market. Word sucks.

Get an app that actually uses Altivec and multi-processors, and all the sudden G4's are beating P4's and probably opterons too. Not to mention what G5's can do.
That is just insane. The video cards aren't even the same! Look at the photoshop tests, at least those make sense. Can you say biased boys and girls, I know you can.
Word....who gives a fu(k on this!
Quake.....Mac is always second class in games...
Pretty much these guys are using the apps that suck on Mac to do the comparison.
Oh by the way. Apple is doomed. I am getting a DELL

Performing benchmarks with a machine running something in classic is obscene. I ran Classic Quake III, and the FPS were less than 75% of what they were in the OS X native version, and the sound was messed up. I'm assuming the same applies for any other processor intensive app.
The dual G5 did pretty well, though the single CPU system was less stellar. I'm getting very curious to see some benchmarks once Panther is released in a few more days.
And since when is Microsoft Word a good benchmark to use???? I know that I do find and replace commands in 1500 page documents all the time. (Sarcasm off)
