PowerMac Dual 2.0GHz PS7Bench Benchmarks [Updated]

Looks like we may finally kick some tail! Here's to progress, folks, and IBM!

The Fastest Computer in the world is true! :) We finnaly have our deserved crown for owning them all! Hurray for the G5!

The chart looks good.
Something to take my mind off Isabel.

I want one:D

Good Good.

:) :) :) :)

This is good. I finally feel like we are faster.

what I like most is that in some cases, the G5 crushes the competition, but when it loses, it's never by much.

My only question is was the RAM used in each machine the same beacause RAM makes a huge difference in Photoshop tests, a MacAddict article showed when they did 512mb RAM vs 2GB of RAM in G5's the 2 giger was almost 20 times faster in some spots.

Yep, it would be difficult even for a rapid PC zealot to deny that the dual 2 GHz G5 is among the fastest of the available machines, but I'm sure we will shortly hear from one trying :D

The results would seem to vindicate the G5 architecture, and I would expect better results in the future as optimization continues through Photoshop 8. Still, the P4 3200 800 Mhz bus version did quite well for a single processor.

Interesting that the 1800 dual channel DDR333 Opteron was just a tad slower than an equivalent G5. I would like to see the faster bus versions of the Opteron to see how they hold up (I consider the Opteron the natural rival to the 970, not Pentium or Xeon).

That said, what's with the pathetic results from the dual Xeon's? Those babies should be put down.
