My friend just put together a new Intel system and installed Tiger on it. I made him run Xbench and compared it to mine, here are the results:

My Friend
Intel Computer
CPU Speed: Pentium 4 3Ghz
32bit
L2 Cache: 2MB
Bus Speed: 800Mhz
1GB RAM
Score: 47.63

Me
Digital Audio PowerMac
Dual G4 1.6ghz (GigaDesigns)
64 bit
L2 Cache: 512KB
Bus Speed: 133Mhz
1.25GB RAM
Score: 44.86

I was expecting a larger difference, like a score that would compare to G5s instead there was only a 3 point difference.

portable: MacBook 2.4Ghz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HD | personal: PowerMac G5 dual 2.3ghz, 6GB RAM, 6TB HD | work: MacBook Pro 2.5ghz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HD | car: Alpine iDA-W407 with black iPod 80GB | pocket: iPhone 3GS with Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro's
