I'm sorry, I think you're missing something. All you prove here is the fact that, clock for clock, the G5 is as fast as a Penryn. So what ? AMD's athlon was clock for clock faster than any P4 that came out, but it still was destroyed when S478 came out. I think the old Athon was even faster then Athlon64, clock for clock. Does that mean the original Athlon still "holds its own" today

.
Have you forgotten why the G5 failed ? It didn't scale properly, remember, because it was way to hot (liquid cooling ring a bell ?) Penryn scales fantastically, so it is definately the better technology. performance per Watt, move over G5
