If this is genuine, then it's a fairly good 'real' world example of what the PPC970 (aka G5) is capable of. It will be really interesting when these machines hit retail stores in August/September as Adobe will have got the 64bit versions of their products available.  I would expect a more-than detectable increase in performance.
The PPC route suddenly looks far more promising for those who know that you really do need a 3GHz processor to surf the web and send e-mails.  :-D
Seriously, it would be brilliant when OS4 is released for applications to be ported across to full PPC.  The usual names apply here: Imagine, ImageFX, etc. Audio Evolution is getting there, but a whole host more will be required before there can be justification to even consider the 970 as a future processor.
