The PowerPC G5 can pump through more than 200 in-flight instructions at a time, a whopping 71% more than the 32-bit Pentium 4
To my knowledge that is only because that is 32 bit, and because the P4 only does 6 IPC (instructions per clock) compared to a 32 bit aXP's 9; compare it to a 'real' chip - ie the AMD Opteron (sledgehammer same as fx-51).
And I'm pretty sure you are going to say that Mac's already have their 64 bit jaguar os x out, and the version of WinXP for the Sledge/Clawhammer is still in late beta stage. Well, even in 32 bit mode the Sledge/Clawhammer is faster than the G5. And when the 64 Bit winXP comes out, it will be fully 64 Bit, unlike the "64 bit" os x which is not fully 64 Bit.
