It gives your creativity room to play. It takes the edge o∂ supersized projects and looming deadlines. It challenges you to seek more demanding work and gives you the confidence to execute with brilliance. Introducing the Power Mac G5 Quad. Now you can blaze through your work, deliver ahead of schedule, wow your clients, even transform your business-because this quad-core system really moves. It runs creative applications up to 69 percent faster than the fastest previous Power Mac, the 2.7GHz dual-processor Power Mac G5.1 Quad-core processing With two dual-core processors, the Power Mac G5 Quad doubles the computational power of its dual-processor predecessor. Do the math: Quad-core processing means four 64-bit PowerPC G5 processor cores, four Velocity Engine units, and eight doubleprecision floating-point units for blistering performance of up to 76.6 gigaflops. That means you can manipulate mountains of images or miles of footage. Crunch enormous data sets. Encode HD video or audiophile-quality music. All at speeds you never imagined possible. PCI Express architecture An all-new PCI Express architecture opens up a world of high-performance peripherals to the Mac platform. This modern industry standard allows you to customize your Power Mac G5 to the special needs of your workflow-providing tremendous power and productivity in a single system. As your needs change, you'll have the flexibility to add emerging solutions for networked storage, digital signal processing (DSP), video management, data acquisition, and more. Workstation graphics Graphics assume a new level of realism with the latest PCI Express graphics cards. The optional NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500-the first workstation graphics processing unit (GPU) for the Mac-accelerates 3D content creation, special e∂ects, animation, and scientific visualizations. How much reality can you handle? Try adding up to eight all-digital Apple Cinema HD Displays to your Power Mac G5 and enjoy a veritable dreamscape. You can even experience full-screen stereo 3D for immersive game play or stereo-in-awindow for scientific workflows. Quad-core processing, PCI Express architecture, and workstation graphics are only the beginning. Find out how the new Power Mac G5 can streamline your work, unlock opportunities, and deliver results that exceed your grandest expectations.
