    AltiVec on a 2.7 GHz PPC970 may be faster than on a 1.8 GHz e6500. And are you sure that bandwidth of PPC970 is better than e6500?

    Already done long ago:

    For an even longer time, G2 and G3 have been used in "Amiga land". So it may as well be optimized for one of them.

    The comparison was with a decade-old Motorola/Freescale offering, not with any latest Intel offering. That's worlds apart.
