Mac's can score higher in some benchmarks and lower in others. AMD's and Intel's ditto. Fast is fast; however, if this is a beer drinking argument find the stats that support your position and suggest he finds the stats that support his.

Comparing Macs and PCs is a fanatic's job.
The results will depend entirely on how you measure performance. Software written specifically to take advantage of the Mac architecture can't be used on a PC. Many common PC titles available in Mac editions aren't utilizing the Mac hardware advantages and will naturally run faster on a PC.
Regardless, with a Google search you should be able to find *tons* of test results.
Best Luck, Bob
