Dual-core Power Mac G5 2.3GHz benchmarks

I wouldn't expect a dual core 2.3 to totally whip the butt of a previous gen dual 2.5. The fact that it's even a little faster is nice in itself. That would mean that dual dual 2.5 must be one screamer of a Mac.

I am impressed with this. The new single processor (dual core) 2.3Ghz Power Mac is performs really nicely compared to the previous 2.5Ghz dual processor Power Mac G5.

I agree with nativeNYer. This is definitely a good sign for the people planning on buying the dual 2.5 version. That computer will snappy. :-P

The G5 speed fiasco takes a new twist with Apple resorting to rather dubious obfuscation, notice how, on the Applestore, when it suits them, they use "processor" and "core" interchangeably. The descriptions are also questionably vague. This is real last gasp stuff! I'm also a bit unnerved that PCI-X has been sidelined after not much more than a year. The machine I bought almost exactly a year ago now has an abandoned (rather than surpassed) graphics card, the 9800XT (2560 BTO which has a number of issues that Apple have never acknowledged other than by dumping it a soon as possible! So now there's no real need to address these issues although ATI have released new firmware for retail versions but Apple have done nothing for the OEM BTO version. Combine that with an abandoned PCI-X architecture and it starts to really feel that Apple only care about NEW customers and burn bridges for and with existing supporters with gay abandon! Not good citizens, not good! Finally, Apple's performance claims are pure hokum, like an athlete who runs a sub four minute mile...downhill, with the wind at his back and an SUV speeding in front to break up the air...not exactly an achievement!

... trollerific!
