According to MacSpeedZone a BW 450 is slightly quicker in integer performance than a 550 PIII, however when it comes to floating point processing the 550 PIII is now decidedly faster. macspeedzone.com In the past Wintel machines have been quicker with integer, which fits because integer means counting and that is good for spread sheets and other boring business type software. Apple had the edge for years in FPU which is used to render Photoshop, Video and 3D. This switch does not bode well for the core of professional Mac users.
