The ultimate smackdown: Mac versus PC By Gene Steinberg USA Today 07/12/2002 - Updated 11:04 AM ET The other day someone sent me a message stating that he really liked Macs, but he felt they were too slow. How did he conclude that? Simple. The fastest Mac had a one-gigahertz processor (all right, two of them), and the fastest "Intel Inside" Windows box had already achieved 2.4 GHz. Doesn't that prove a Windows PC is faster? (snip) usatoday.com <><><><><> Apple Hot News Writing for USA Today, Gene Steinberg reports that he compared Photoshop 7 performance on a Power Mac G4 with dual 1GHz PowerPC G4 processors against a Sony Vaio RX690G Digital Studio with a 2.2-GHz Pentium processor. He writes, “In the nine test runs, the Mac came out on top five times, besting the Sony by up to 8.1 seconds. Where the PC emerged victorious, the margin was usually less than half a second. In all, the Mac took a total of 35.5 seconds to complete the nine rendering steps. The PC took 50.1 seconds, making it 41% slower according to my calculator’s reckoning.” [Jul 12] apple.com
