How do these machines compare in performance to the G5-based Apple Xserve and PowerMac?
It is difficult to compare systems without knowing the application workload. Apple’s G5 includes special instructions which help in video processing and related multi-media, so it tends to do especially well with software tuned to that. Outside of these applications, AMD Opteron systems tend to be faster due to lower memory latency and high clock rate, but, again, it will depend on the application.
