Yes, see the large quote in comment #110

...and the CPU cores just doing in-order execution, so you can't really do a simple comparison with out-of-order Espresso based on clock frequency.
Ah yes! Thanks for the hint.
So it's 3,2 GHz + Altivec In-order Xenon
vs. 1,24 GHz Out-of-order Espresso
vs. 0,35 - 1,67 GHz + Altivec Out-of-order G4 7400-7455
vs. 1,6 - 2,7 GHz + Altivec Out-of-order G5 970.
I guess the Wii U would at least be a perfect replacement/improvement of the G4 Mac Minis having more CPU power, more/faster RAM and a more capable GPU.
