X1000 results in Ubuntu 12.04 Phoronix

I'd like to see them as well.  The fact that they're not being provided leads me to believe that the G5 outperforms the X1000 considerably and at 1/10 the price.

For once we agree.
And this situation is likely to stay this way if the MorphOS team ever supports later G5s (like the Quad 2.5).
I'm not really interested in how an OS4 system compares to a MorphOS system.
I want to know how they compare to each other.
After all, what point is there in comparing to different platforms that share no common software?

They share Linux and 68k AmigaOS library.

But nevermind, Phoronix is great test suite and should be ported to AmigaOS and MorphOS. Until then only reliable tests are under Linux.

Or use, your own MOS tests, but you will not know e.g. how fast is G5 using both cores, or does more then 2GB RAM adds any performance.

That is a valid point.
I have been so concerned with not ruffling the AOS supporters feathers that I glossed over that.
That and we were pretty sure the 970 held a pretty good lead early on.

The thing to remember is we are comparing equipment that is only available used to hardware still available new.
