Industry-Leading

Performance

The Apple Power Mac G5 is a revolutionary 64-bit desktop computer designed to

meet the high-performance, no-compromise requirements of today’s most demanding

professional applications. With 64-bit power and high-bandwidth architecture, this

groundbreaking new system alleviates the limitations and bottlenecks of the tradition-

al PC—opening up a wealth of possibilities for 2D and 3D designers, video and audio

producers, scientists, researchers, and game developers and players.

Since the launch of the Power Mac G5 in June 2003, an increasing number of the

industry’s most popular applications have been optimized for the Power Mac G5.

While 32-bit applications benefit from the faster processor and high-bandwidth

architecture, performance gains will be most dramatic with PowerPC G5–optimized

applications.

Apple put the Power Mac G5 to the test against the top-of-the-line competing systems.

Test results demonstrate its industry-leading performance in key application categories.

The industry’s fastest frontside bus, an advanced system controller, and high-speed,

high-capacity memory combine to make the Power Mac G5 one of the fastest personal

computers ever built.

Film and Video

With 64-bit processors, high-bandwidth system architecture, and up to 8GB of fast

400MHz DDR main memory, the Power Mac G5 is the ultimate professional video sys-

tem. Dual processors combined with outstanding floating-point performance, PCI-X

expansion, and industry-leading I/O technologies deliver huge advances for video

editing, compositing, and special effects professionals. The Power Mac G5 allows film-

makers and videographers to layer multiple video tracks, quickly render video with an

almost unlimited number of real-time effects, and transcode to final output—all faster

than ever before.

Final Cut Pro 4.1

Final Cut Pro 4.1—the most comprehensive, high-performance nonlinear editing suite

for professional DV, SD, HD, and film editors—is now optimized and accelerated for

the Power Mac G5 and Mac OS X Panther. Taking full advantage of the speed, opti-

mized Velocity Engine, and multiple processors of the Power Mac G5, Final Cut Pro 4.1

features RT Extreme, an advanced multistream effects engine for digital video (DV) and

full-resolution uncompressed SD video. Final Cut Pro 4.1 offers more real-time filters,

effects, and transitions than ever before. With more simultaneous video layers and the

ability to view full-resolution NTSC/PAL output and work in full, uncompressed broad-

cast-quality video, Final Cut Pro 4.1 on the Power Mac G5 delivers the power and speed

that video editors dream of.

Technology and

Performance Overview

Power Mac G5

“Anyone who’s ever thought,

‘

I could get so

much more done if I didn’t have to wait on

this stupid computer’ should put a G5 on

their to-get list.”

—Jon Fortt

San Jose Mercury News

“It’s clear from two weeks of testing that Apple’s

new Power Mac G5 dual 2GHz machine is the

fastest thing the company has ever produced.

And while you can debate benchmarks until

eternity, it certainly appears poised to meet or

beat anything now out on the Windows side.”

—Ken Mingis
