The Gecko (Gamecube CPU) was based on a G3 processor but had an extended instruction set which made it far faster at game related functions than a G3 at the same clock speed. In 2001 Mac was releasing G3 based iMacs at 500MHz to 700MHz which were considered (roughly) equal to 1GHz to 1.5 GHz Intel based PCs at the time.
