I rather imagine that's because the machines aren't shipping yet. The
semi-believable benchmarks are from Apple
<http://www.apple.com/powermac/performance/> (informative if you can read
through the marketing hype) and from NASA Langley
<http://members.cox.net/craig.hunter/g5/>, neither of whom cares about chess
programs. See
<http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/03/06/28/1346251.shtml?tid=126&tid=181> for
others (not much real info here).

When the G5's hit the street, I'm sure we'll hear a lot more.
