Ok, as the Intellification of Macintosh is almost upon us I thought it would be fun to make some predictions on how the G4+ holds up against the Yonah. First benchmarks have been released on Anandtech which show the Yonah performing almost on par with the Athlon 64.
Let's hope there will be proper applications (PS!) and benchmark tools for OSx86 released together with the introduction of the Macintel.
My estimation, based on a few benchmarks (also crossplatform) is that Yonah (single core, 2MB L2) will be about 25% faster on IPC.
I also think that this will be fairly even distributed on FP and integer operations, as Yonah seems to be stronger in integer like the G4.
With vector instructions the G4 will still be a bit stronger me thinks.
