The 64-bit PowerPC G5 accelerates all types of applications, thanks to clock speeds up to 2GHz, an optimized Velocity Engine, and two floating-point units. With the industry’s fastest frontside bus and high-speed, high-capacity memory, creative applications rip through work faster than ever before. Whether you’re at work or at play, you’ll enjoy eye-popping graphics, especially when viewed on one of Apple’s stunning flat-panel LCD displays. Apple’s most expandable Mac provides high-bandwidth connections for a full range of industry-standard, high-performance peripherals. An innovative enclosure design uses a superefficient thermal zone scheme and low-speed fans to stay cool and quiet. Mac OS X and 32-bit application code run natively at processor speed, so you can keep using the world’s most advanced operating system and all your favorite software. 64-bit processors enable the Power Mac G5 to break through the 4GB barrier and support up to 8GB of 400MHz, 128-bit DDR SDRAM — four times more than a typical PC. More main memory and fast 6.4 GBps throughput means you can write large projects to memory 40x faster than to a hard disk. Jointly developed by Apple and IBM, the PowerPC G5 drives the largest gain in processing power in the history of the PowerPC architecture. The Power Mac G5’s enclosure houses four discrete thermal zones to compartmentalize the primary heat-producing components. Fans in the zones spin at very low speeds resulting in a system three times quieter than the Power Mac G4. It’s easy to plug printers, scanners and other devices into the Power Mac G5. In addition to sporting a full complement of ports on the back, the front panel has FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 ports, as well as a headphone jack. Mac OS X: System Software for the Power Mac G5 Mac OS X combines the power and stability of UNIX with Apple’s legendary ease of use. The Power Mac G5 ships with the latest version of Mac OS X v10.2 “Jaguar.” Unlike other 64-bit platforms, no special 64-bit version is required; the same operating system runs on all your Mac computers. Because it’s fully compatible with 32-bit PowerPC application code, the Power Mac G5 eases the migration to 64-bit computing and protects your investment in software. Mac OS X doesn’t revert to a slow 32-bit emulation mode, as is typical on other 64-bit platforms. Existing Mac OS X application code, as well as Classic applications, runs at full processor speed with no upgrades required. This seamless transition is possible because the PowerPC architecture, unlike competing instruction sets, was designed from the beginning to run both 32-bit and 64-bit application code. In addition, Mac OS X v10.2.7 (G5) has been enhanced to leverage the capabilities of the 64-bit Power Mac G5. Built from the ground up for symmetric multiprocessing and multithreading, Mac OS X enables peak performance on dual PowerPC G5 systems. Mac OS X takes full advantage of the 8GB memory capacity of the Power Mac G5: It can now allocate up to 4GB of memory per process to easily fit memory-intensive applications into RAM. The math and vector libraries have been tuned to take full advantage of the PowerPC G5 processor’s 64-bit integer and floating-point math capabilities and its optimized Velocity Engine. While existing 32-bit applications benefit from the faster processor and high-bandwidth architecture of the Power Mac G5, performance gains will be more dramatic with PowerPC G5–optimized applications. Look for upcoming announcements from developers of popular professional applications. Built on open standards Mac OS X is built on open standards, integrating seamlessly with Windows, Linux, and other UNIX systems - thanks to support for common network platforms, standard file formats, and cross-platform UNIX and Java applications. Also included in Mac OS X are innovative, industry-leading applications and core technologies, such as Quartz Extreme, Rendezvous, and QuickTime Pro.

All this performance starts with the PowerPC G5, the first 64-bit desktop processor, running at clock speeds up to 2GHz. The industry’s fastest frontside bus, an advanced system controller, and highspeed, high-capacity memory combine with advanced processing to make the Power Mac G5 the world’s most powerful personal computer. • How fast is it? Apple tested the new systems using industry-standard SPEC benchmarks, as well as real-world applications. Check out the results. • System Throughput • The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) CPU2000 benchmark suite is the recognized industry standard for assessing processing performance. SPEC is a nonprofit organization of hardware and software vendors, universities, and consultants. They developed the SPEC CPU2000 benchmarks based on actual end-user applications. These tests depend on processor, memory subsystem, and compiler performance when executing integer and floating-point computations. For more information on the benchmarks, see www.spec.org. • Apple hired an independent laboratory, VeriTest, to conduct the SPEC CPU2000 benchmark tests and provide documented results. Since SPEC CPU2000 measures the performance of both the hardware and the compiler, VeriTest normalized the compiler on both platforms to allow for a direct comparison of hardware performance alone. VeriTest used GCC - an open source compiler popular with programmers around the world - with similar settings on all systems. (Even though GCC cannot automatically generate Velocity Engine code for the PowerPC G5, settings included automatic generation of optimized SSE/SSE2 code for the Pentium 4 and the Xeon.) The Power Mac G5 used Mac OS X v10.2.7 (G5), and the Intel-based systems used Red Hat Linux 9.0. • The SPEC CPU2000 benchmark suite comprises four metrics - SPECint_base2000, SPECfp_base2000, SPECint_rate_base2000, and SPECfp_rate_base2000 - to represent different performance characteristics of the system. • SPECint_base2000 and SPECfp_base2000 measure the speed of a single task - either an integer calculation or a floating-point calculation - executing on a single processor. Each test measures how long the processor takes to complete the benchmark set of single tasks relative to a SPEC-defined baseline score. SPECint_base2000 is composed of eleven C and one C++ benchmark applications, including a chess program, a data compression utility, and a place-and-route simulator. SPECfp_base2000 consists of six Fortran-77, four Fortran-90, and four C benchmark applications, including shallow-water modeling, neural-network simulation, and computational chemistry. • In single-processor tests, the Power Mac G5 completed the set of floating-point calculations 21 percent faster than the Pentium 4-based system and 30 percent faster than the Xeon-based workstation, while it performed slightly below both systems when executing simple integer calculations. • For comparisons that more accurately demonstrate the performance of a dual processor system, VeriTest used the “SPEC rate” metrics, which recognize multiple processors. With SPECint_rate_base2000 and SPECfp_rate_base2000, the benchmark code is compiled and multiple copies are run concurrently, allowing both processors to work in parallel. SPEC rate tests determine the number of times a system can complete the benchmark per hour, also referred to as system throughput. • These results clearly demonstrate the benefits of the dual processor Power Mac G5. With full support for symmetric multiprocessing, dual independent 1GHz frontside buses, and two floating-point units per processor, the dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 completed the set of floating-point calculations 95 percent faster than the Pentium 4-based system and 42 percent faster than the dual Xeon-based workstation. Integer performance was also far superior to the Pentium 4–based system and on par with the dual Xeon-based system. • Pro Audio • Audio and music professionals choose Apple as their creative platform.
