Noting how the G5's have lower GHz than the PC counterparts, so OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE SLOWER!!

Not at all. clockspeed isn't the only factor in speed.Originally posted by Whaleboy

Blame Apple. That's the fastest GHz they got.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Ah fair enough. If they can account for the difference in GHz (i.e., level that playing field) then that's a good basis for a comparison between the processors themselves (presumably the technology and not the clock speed).
That Apple are using processors with slower clock speeds in their machines isn't good news for their machines but doesn't necessarily reflect badly on the processor. I don't know the ins and outs of processors so I can't tell you which is the better architecture, certainly not from the graphs you've posted."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison

The processor is fine, it's one I've worked with day in and out now for 10 months. It's a nice chip.
The problem is in a few areas:
1) Apple has a crap multimedia architecture -- they don't have a DirectX they can use, and their userbase is so small that their OpenGL drivers don't get the optimization that the PC ones do
2) Apple uses a "full" Microkernel design, similar to Windows NT 3.0 back in the old-days. MS chose to move device drivers into kernel-land for performance boosts, and Apple's OS X doesn't do that. They have additional overhead, accordingly.
3) OS X isn't a prime example of efficiency, to say the least
