Upon further investigation, I can see it as quite likely that the PowerPC 970 did legitly outperform the current Xeons in Photoshop, or at least in quite a lot of the filters.
The chip seems to have been designed with Photoshop in mind, with additional floating point units...
Not that it matters too much, it seems somewhat silly to be comparing a chip that'll come out in late August/early September with an architecture that's pushing two years old and will be replaced around the same time."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

"Evidence" is the large amount of FPUs on the chip. Intel cut down on the number of FPUs in the Pentium 4 because that's what they want people to buy Itaniums for (raw FPU power). They wanted the Pentium 4 to be fast in multimedia (encoding/decoding) and gaming mostly, which meant it's got weaker generic FPU power than the Athlon or PowerPC 970, but makes up for this in most apps with SSE2 (which is way faster).
Anyway, IBM put lots of FPUs and cut down on AltiVec somewhat as compared to the G4, a somewhat opposite direction Intel took. It probably has more to do with the PowerPC 970 being based on the Power4, which is a heavily FPU-intense server CPU..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

I gave you my answer long ago.
BTW, weren't you the one telling everyone how fast the G4 was about a month ago?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
