It is too bad apple didn't submit SPEC CPU2000 results for the PPC G4 (at
least I couldn't find them on the spec site. Maybe you can dig up some
unofficial scores). While the SPEC CPU benchmarks they released for the PPC
970 should be taken with a shaker full of salt the comparison would be a
start.

And more more importantly, is RSI planning an x86-64 version of IDL for the
Opteron and the Lateron? With the G5 I think it is not a matter of if but
of when. With x86-64 the future isn't so certain. I would guess it would
depend on demand.
