I have recently recieved one of the newest Dual 2.0 machines. It does not use the AMD-8131 chipset, and is performing well so far with the tests I have done.

There is not official ETA on the release of the 3.9/Tiger support update, however, I've been told it will definitely be out by the end of June. You can, however, make a backup of your 10.3.9 system (to a firewire drive for example) and bootup from it on the new machine, use Disk Utility to wipe the Tiger install and then copy the 10.3.9 backup to the new G5's harddrive

does it mean that it performs better than G4 systems with a lower cpu consuption for each plugin we load?

basically yeah. It has a better graphcis card, faster CPU, faster FSB, and you don't have to have AMD-8131 mode enabled (because it doesn't use that chipset) so the added host load from that mode is not there.
