Power Mac G5 - Performance tests

24 June 2003   

 

Power Mac G5 - Performance tests

The side by side comparisons for the new G% against the Windows world, "Apple ran the Adobe Photoshop tests using a 600MB Photoshop file."

A 600MB file? What the hell's in that? Is it just a big file in pixels (width x height), or has it hundreds of layers, channels and filters?

I've been reading about the new G5s having upto 8GB of RAM as well, now I'm missing something here, what would a user what with all this horse power? Video? Sure. But Photoshop files? Well, I suppose I haven't really pushed Photoshop for sometime, maybe I should get one of these machines and try. Doing web graphics, and 1 megapixel pix from my digital camera, I couldn't get close to 600MB!

The new bluetooth stuff sounds very good. Using a phone as a proximity sensor, really does blow my mind. To stop iTunes as I move out of a room and start it back up again is pretty cool. And it being Applescriptable opens up a whole new world. Though, I see Nokias aren't yet compatible, only Sony-Ericsson.
