Well, if you drink the Kool Aid. It's interesting that in the iMac they're saying its 2x as fast. Well, it's kind of got 2x as many cores, no? It's a dual processor (for most intents and purposes) while the iMac G5 is a single core, single processor. So the G5 is still kind of holding its own. Add that to the fact that the Core Duo is on a faster bus than the G5... (and yes, I know that dual core does not necessarily = 2x as fast in the real world, but boy howdy it does in marketing materials.)
Love to see some comparos between a Core Duo and a dual core G5 (thanks for such clear marketing names, Intel!) on similar hardware. But man, that ain't gonna happen.
