I heard that all of Apple's benchmarks on their site, as well as all their other advertisements are false. It is said that any Athlon 64 could outbeat a PowerMac G5. In the benchmarks, on all the systems besides the G5, Apple loops a debugging program which slows down the CPU. This is how the G5 is up to 98% faster than an FX55 & an Intel Xeon 3.6.

Apple also uses a version of AMD's Hyper Transport Tech., so that FX-53 should be right up there, or are they inflating those benchmarks for marketing reason's?
