Ok resistance is futile, ill give up, your brainwashing machine works flawlessly. G5 Powermac is the fastest Computer on earth under certain conditions. But i beleieve we should have a look at an updated test when the X1900 for the MacPro shows up. Then we can bash Barefeats guys making an unfair comparison having an X1900 in the MacPro and only an 7800 in the G5.

Bye

I have this strange feeling that Apple specifically engineer each line-up of machines each year, so that you cannot adequately performance rate them against each other.

nVidia one year, ATI the other, PowerPC one year, Intel the other, none of the cards you get with the machine are available outside of that machine.. it's just not going to happen that ATI release a PowerPC Mac Edition of the X1900, or nVidia release an Intel EFI version of the 7800, so no test is going to be made.

maybe they are just artfully dodging benchmarking their products to inspire upgrade after upgrade. my mother recently got a powerbook G4 and it performs plenty fast (with a massive battery life to boot) but now apple are touting their latest hardware as the epitome of their product range (which will change again in a few months time)

I've re-read your post today...

You think that I'm "washing brain" when I claim that Power processors are well designed, fast, are instruction set is really very good and well designed ...

But, what about Intel pathetic advertise we saw on the web ( in France at least ): they claim that duo 2 processor is the best processor of the word... this processor was first designed in 1979, for those old days usage. They claim they re-degign it from ground up every 6 months... but they are still using 4 data registers, 2 adresses registers, 32kbyte access to memory... those specifications are outdated. 64bits extention of those jurrasic processors is something like a wooden leg.

And worse, at every "re-design" of their processors are more and more buggy ( 34 known severe bugs on Intel core duo )...

And no-one don't even say that Intel is washing brains...

...what a strange planet!
