It makes different trade-offs. Perforce is much better at dealing with large binary files, git isn't good at that. There's 'git lfs', but I have no experience using it, so I can't comment. But if you're just dealing with text files, git is much faster in many cases compared to perforce. Switching/creating branches in git is instant, it can take a while in perforce. Doing a 'git status' is instant, 'p4 status' can take minutes to return in a large repo with many files.
