Three
powerful models
The
Apple Power Mac G5 product line
comes in three muscular configurations — 1.6GHz, dual 1.8GHz and a dual
2GHz model. They all feature the legendary SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW) as standard
equipment across the line. And of course they come with two FireWire 400 ports,
three PCI expansion slots, ADC connector, DVI connector, analogue audio in,
analogue audio out, optical S/PDIF in, optical S/PDIF out, front headphone and
speaker jack and built-in Gigabit Ethernet — all as standard equipment.
All models are AirPort Extreme-ready, and offer Bluetooth capability as a
build-to-order option.

Setting
new standards
The 64-bit G5 processor — plugged into a new
ultrahigh-bandwidth system architecture featuring AGP 8X and PCI-X — makes
the
Apple Power Mac G5 a
breakthrough in desktop processing power and lets you use up to 8 gigabytes of
main memory. The PowerPC G5 processor dramatically accelerates performance in
real world applications. When compared head-to-head against the same PCs in a
large series of Photoshop tests, the dual 2GHz and dual 1.8GHz
Apple Power Mac G5 systems were
90% and 76% faster, respectively, than the 3.2GHz Pentium 4-based system and
81% and 68% faster than the dual 3.2GHz Xeon-based system. Even the
single-processor 1.6GHz
Apple Power Mac G5 was 21%
faster than the 3.2GHz Pentium 4-based system. Additional performance tests
reveal similar performance gains for professional music and audio creation, and
scientific analysis of genetic research. |
