Apple releases G5 computers - 06/23/03 07:53 PM
The world's fastest computer was announced at the WWDC today. That's Apple's developer conference, where they talk about programming and stuff, but more importantly, he gives a presentation on all the cool new [censored] Apple has for the year. Among the many announcements is the G5 Powermac, which basically blows the hell outta anything anybody here owns.
It's the first 64 bit personal computer. It can have 8 gigs of RAM, up from the max of 4 gigs. And the motherboards actually support that. The processor has a 1 Ghz FSB. It has 8x AGP now. It's a [censored] beast.

Apple partnered up with IBM in order to develop the G5. So that's what that's about. Crime, I'm not sure what Intel released. However I watched the streaming web cast, and Jobs put a new G5 up against a dual Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz machines, and it whipped the [censored] out of the Pentium machine in everything. Stuff like rendering a 309 meg file in Photoshop took 28 seconds on the Mac, and 3 minutes and change on the PC. These are some serious kick-[censored] machines.
