Dixie_Flatline writes "Macbidouille.com is reporting that they have preliminary benchmarks involving PPC970 hardware. The results are seriously impressive. We're looking at a single processor PPC 970 1.4GHz machine quite strikingly outperforming a dual G4 1.42GHz machine. Don't worry, there's an English translation embedded in the page so you don't have to try to muddle through the French."

...but as much as I'd like to believe this, I have a hard time believing that any of those apps have already been ported to 64-bit. I mean, my God, Apple already had the developers jump through hoops to port to OS X...now they want 64-bit apps two years later? Right.

How did they do this dual processor test?

PPC970 does NOT support multi processors!!

Fake.
