ThinkSecret has an article discussing early benchmarks from Xbench running on Macintel.
From the article:
"Overall, the Intel Mac are scoring between 65 and 70 with Xbench, a far cry from the 200+ scores higher-end G5 systems reach."
According to ThinkSecret, this performance discrepancy is largely due to Rosetta. However, it also notes that Rosetta caches it's binary translations so that you may see performance increase the more you use the apps.
