[quote Lew Zealand]MAVIC, have you done the side by side and can you quantitate the differences for us?
There's no real need to do side-by-side tests. It's sort of like asking if a 2.13GHz C2D will outperform a 500MHz G3.
The app only advantage of Core Image. It's just a benchmark to see how well each machine performs doing Core Image tests. I provided a list of apps, including Tiger, which also utilize Core Image. If a person uses any of those, they would also see a performance increase.

That one graph from BareFeats on an app have exceedingly few users will ever use isn't enough to convince the average user to shell out another $500.
