Re:speed comparison PPC/Intel Mac mini - 2009/05/18 22:58 Barefeats should have benchmarks for comparison on both models.

I don't think you are going to see a 3x speed boost. Some things will be much faster but some will only be slightly faster and most in between. A lot of factors are involved like if you are using intel coded software or universal binary software for Intel/PPC.

The 4GB of RAM will make a lot of difference and the Intel chip, depending on which one will also make a lot of difference. But you may be expecting too much at 3x.
