(note: since the Apple boys want to call things "PowerPC" then I should clarify by "PC" I mean non-Mac, "big-blue" PC descendent, machines)
64-bit PC chips are going to leave this thing in the dust if not now, at most in a year's time. Its more than a hardware thing - the majority of software/OS' are designed with PC hardware in mind. For offices, or for example the Health students in my Uni who type up reports, then the Mac has a market. However, it ain't going any further from now on. The PC platform just has a market edge thats unbeatable.
Also, think about how they did the comparisons on that page - a 32-bit chip(s) against thier new 64-bit chip? Gee that was a fair race. It's like putting a child on a bike up against the Joint Strike Fighter and wondering why the bike is slower.
Unfortunately for Apple, the PC's overall architecture is evolving around the same time as 64-bit processing has arrived. Updates to the PCI standard and faster memory will stand off the G5.
Don't get me wrong, I'm impressed with the IBM production methods though.
