squeeks Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 wow i had a imac g5 1.8gig 2gig ram it was ok, kinda sluggish, well, in preperation for the new version of imacs coming any week now, i sold it, but i had a project in FCP i was working on and a buddy of mine went on vacation for the week and let me borrow his 2gig Core Duo (not core 2) imac... what a diffrence in speed two apps i noticed the most were apature and motion 3 in apature pictures apear almost instantly, whereas before with the G5 it took some time to load the pictures. In Motion most of the premade templates would play quite choppy at full resolution down to about 1/4 res. but with the core duo, they all play perfectly smooth. its just amazing, i cant believe the speed diffrence i was expecting some, but not like this...i guess my question is, am i missing something, or is there really that big an an increase?

Synaesthesia Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 The dual-core makes it much faster in multithreaded apps, and most of the apple apps are well multi-threaded. The new iMac also has a much better graphics card, which helps with motion, a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedfreaK Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 if the new imac has a much better graphics card, how bad is the graphics card of the g5 imac? a 7300 of 7600 is not really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
