Technology Overview 23 Power Mac G5 E∂ects and animation performance Video editors and producers add innovative motion graphics and e∂ects to film, video, DVD, and web projects using tools like Motion, Adobe After E∂ects, LightWave 3D, and Cinema 4D. To demonstrate the performance advantages of quad-core processors, Apple measured the time to render e∂ects using three application tests. After E∂ects 6.5.1 results Visual e∂ects rendering Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5GHz 69% faster Dual 2.7GHz Power Mac G5 Baseline Percent faster than the previous model The Power Mac G5 Quad performed the Nightflight rendering test 69 percent faster than the dual 2.7GHz Power Mac G5.* LightWave 3D 8.2.1 results 3D rendering Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5GHz Dual 2.7GHz Power Mac G5 59% faster Baseline Percent faster than the previous model The Power Mac G5 Quad rendered the LightWave 3D scene 59 percent faster than the dual 2.7GHz Power Mac G5.* Cinebench results Multiple-processor rendering Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5GHz Dual 2.7GHz Power Mac G5 55% faster Baseline Percent faster than the previous model The Power Mac G5 Quad performed the Cinebench rendering test 55 percent faster than the dual 2.7GHz Power Mac G5.* * Testing conducted by Apple in September 2005 using preproduction 2.5GHz Power Mac G5 Quad units; all other systems were shipping units. After E∂ects test file was Nightflight. LightWave benchmark scene was Skull_Head_Newest.
