Some early benchmarks of the PowerMac G5 1.6GHz have been posted to Chaosmint.com, thanks to David Marcus and James F. Haw.
The numbers provide an early look into the low-end PowerMac G5. A few caveats however:
1) XBench and Cinebench 2003 are not G5-aware applications and as a result may need to be tweaked to accurately measure the performance of the G5.
2) The comparison machine that people will compare it to most likely be a Dual 1.42GHz machine. Remember that you are comparing two G4 processors compared to one G5.
3) XBench results seem to vary widely on the same hardware.
4) A better test would be a Photoshop benchmark using the old and G5-aware versions of Photoshop.
