[X4U] New Pentium Macs

[eleventhvolume]

Rather sobering article for those - like me - contemplating purchasing an
Intel Mac at this point in time:

> our tests found the new 2.0GHz Core Duo iMac takes rougly 10 to 25 percent
> less time than the G5 iMac to perform the same native application tasks,
> albeit with some notable exceptions. (If you'd prefer, that makes the Core Duo
> iMac 1.1 to 1.3 times as fast.) And we also found that applications that
> aren¹t yet Intel-native‹which must run using Apple¹s Rosetta code-translation
> technology‹tend to run half as fast as the same applications running natively
> on the iMac G5.
