If we would take in consideration the same count and clock speed of G5 and Intel processors - then there would be very little difference in real world speed. Dual core G5 2 GHz is about as fast as dual core Intel 2 GHz. Quad core G5 2.5GHz is only slightly slower than Quad Xeon 2.66 GHz: http://www.geekpatrol.ca/blog/135 If Apple wouldn't go Intel way, we would just see next generation of PowerMacs G5 as fast as Xeon based Macs Pro .
