Actually it is true. The architecture is much better and more 
efficient than Pentiums. The G3 that you used in your benchmarks is 
very old. Even low-end macs (ala Mac mini) use the G4, which was a 
substantial improvement over the G3... and the G5 was an even bigger 
improvement over the G4 and is truly amazing (and even it is 
built-into the low-end iMacs). Of course, all computers and 
processors will have advantages and disadvantages in certain areas 
which can be shown with a specific application, so a general and 
outdated comparison like this is really distorting reality and not 
very helpful.
