I must confess I'm disappointed by the QorIQ P5's e5500 core. In almost all tests, its per-clock performance is below that of the 7447A/e600, which is honestly not what I had expected. Only thanks to its faster clock rate, the P5/e5500 comes out as winner in absolute comparison in the majority of tests (except dnetc).
So as I worried the X5000 can't even beat the antique G4, and is destroyed by the G5.
Good to know. That glimmering hope of it being a viable replacement for a PowerMac G5 has been put to rest.
