wrinkledshirt writes "Here's a bunch of AMD Athlon 64 reviews, courtesy of 8Dimensional." AcesHardware and HardOCP match the Athlon 64 line against the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition. amdmb, FiringSquad, and SharkyExtreme take a closer look at the FX-51. AthlonXP and PCStats have glowing reviews of the chips. Digit-Life compares the new Athlon 64 with Opteron and a Pentium 4. LegitReviews and Overclockers.com.au also both have succinct reviews of the FX-51. Overall the reviews speak very highly of the Athlon 64 and the FX version of the chip, with the only downside being the cost, especially of the FX chip.

I can give you your wanted "review"
A64 fx51:=Opteron
A64 a little slower
G5: Slow crap, Half to 75% of A64 performance (not countin photoshop gaussian blur and the 3 other altivec optimiced algorithms in exitance)

But i guess you smartass dont understand that 64bit x86 on the desktop means x86 desktop chips should be used in the comparison. And yes, p4 is one.
