Power Mac G5

Supporting Every Grand Venture is a Solid Foundation

Start your next project on the ultimate creative platform. Each of the three Power Mac G5 models offers best-in-class performance, built on dual G5 processors running at up to 2.5GHz. With two double-precision floating-point units, advanced branch prediction logic and support for symmetric multiprocessing, the G5 processor combines an optimised Velocity Engine with a superscalar, super-pipelined execution core that can execute more than 200 simultaneous in-flight instructions. This high-bandwidth core has over 12 discrete functional units that process massive amounts of instructions in parallel.

Designed for Future Thought

The PowerPC G5 offers a seamless transition to 64-bit performance: Current 32-bit code — such as Mac OS X, the Mac OS 9 Classic environment and existing applications — runs natively at processor speed. With no interruptions to your workflow. And no additional investment in software required to take advantage of 64-bit power, period. The PowerPC architecture was designed from the beginning to run both 32-bit and 64-bit application code. This enables the PowerPC G5 processor to run Mac OS X natively for an immediate performance boost. In addition, as applications are optimised and as Mac OS X is further enhanced for the PowerPC G5 processor, performance gains will be even more dramatic.
