beats the pants off most other things...
Or so Mac wearer's would have you believe. A quick search on the net will reveal what little relevance the benchmarks used actually have ... and pitting it against the P4 when there's a much closer match (Opteron) showed just how much it was about advertising than true perf. An Athlon running at 2.2ghz can beat a P4 running at 3ghz, esp if you're selective about what tests are run and how, even more so if you completely neglect the many internal optimisations of the P4.
