"Individuals attending Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference have submitted Xbench benchmark results from Apple's Pentium 4-based Power Mac systems. The benchmarks do not reflect native performance of the 3.6GHz systems, however, but rather provide an indication of how PowerPC-compiled applications will run under Rosetta on Intel-based systems."

I'm looking forward to the performance matrix for

+ Intel/Windows XP
+ Intel/Linux
+ Intel/OS X
+ PowerPC/OS X

And especially for how this will play out in the scientific computing spheres of bioinformatics, computation science, etc.
