It looks like the Dual G5 2GHz has the best bang for the buck.The average speed advantage over the G5 1.8GHz is 45%. Yet it only costs 25% more (factory standard configuration).


If you are thinking about exchanging your G4 Dual 1.42 or G4 Dual 1.25 for a "Solo" G5 1.8 or 1.6, better give it another thought.


We're working on producing results from other applications (UT2003, Quake3, FCP). We'll post them here as we compile them.


"PANTHER PUNCH"
Meanwhile, here's some data on the speed increase that OS X "Panther" (10.3) will provide G5 owners once it's released. We ran Xbench 1.1 on a G5 1.8GHz with 10.3 beta build 7B49. Compared to 10.2.7 "Jaguar"....
....CPU score increased 40%
....Thread score increased 44%
....Memory score increased 38%
Cheers,
Nick.
