Maybe it's just me but the XBox isn't out yet. Neither are 3.2 ghz G5's.

Looks pretty fair to me.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?

This has been covered to death.

The Xbox does not use G5s!

'PowerPC' does not mean 'G5'. There are hundreds of PowerPC variants for many applications. Hardly any of them can compete with the G5 clock for clock.

Theyre not G5s. They are modified PowerPC processors which probably has instructions and features thats are a subset of what the PowerPC G5 has. and it's not shipping yet....soo...yea
