New 15"/17" PowerBook G4 Speed Tests

are available on Bare Feats. Mad Scientist Rob ART Morgan has run them through their paces and has confirmed our previously posted speculation about the speed of the new PowerBooks. Despite having no L3 cache (the previous models have 1 MB), the new G4 Model 7457 CPU's with 512K of high speed L2 cache instead of 256K, increased clock speed and improved graphics chip, substantially out perform the previous PowerBook G4 models. The new 17" model leads as expected.
