Apple's G5 Speeds Challenged
An anonymous reader was the first of a seemingly infinite stream of people to submit a URL to an argument that makes the case that the G5 isn't quite what Apple wants you to think of it. The evidence? Apple's own press material. Worth a read.

Pal, I hate to break this to you, but that Georgia that you've been seeing so much lately? From what I've been hearing, she was probably originally christened 'George'.
Mod me down on this if you like, but I just need to slap some sense in to them who have no clue.
Excuse me, but how stupid are people?
Anybody who say that the Intel and AMD processors are faster than the G5 are complete and utter morons. Apple had speed tests in various applications and it kicked the shit out of them. I saw it with my own eyes. There were thousands of developers and even more thousand of people who watched the stream afterwards. Apple is not lying when they say the G5 is faster! These idiots seem to disregard the speed tests that were done on stage, at the same time, infront of thousands of people, with Mathematica, Logic/Cubase, Photoshop and other software.
If you think the G5 is slower than a dual Xeon or Pentium, then you must have seen the keynote backwards.
What's so bad about being lazy? What if there was a war and nobody showed up?
We should be thinking different. One reason the reaction to Apple's new machines is so positive is because Intel/AMD have made us believe their products are the performers, the standard of performance in the PC market. Suddenly we are brought back to reality and things actually are different.
