my g5 is completely comparable to a mid-to high range pentium. which is what it is in competition with. the difference is, my computer uses it better. the powerPC architecture is just that - archtiecture. it can still be as powerful as the x86 thing, and pentium, at the moment, simply can't keep up with athlon anyway, so it would have been a bad choice again.
everyone is hitting power-walls at the moment. it'll be fine in a couple of years.
future? just carry on! at the moment, apple are doing pretty much everything right. jobs and his team are doing a very good job of making good products mixed with enough media hype to sell them.
just improve, and keep on innovating!
