Info concerning the G5

By linathael. Original by Lionel - 27/07/2003 11:10:36 CEST - Category: Apple
We have received dome information concerning G5 tests in progress somewhere in the US.
Those tests have been performed on a G5 1.8 GHz and Dual 2GHz.
Non optimized MacOSX 10.2.7, as well as a Panther beta, have been used in this test.
Both G5 had a Geforce FX 5200 graphic cards and a SATA IBM Vancouvert HD.
The reference computer is a Dual G4 1.25 GHz with 2MB RAM per processor.
Our source mentioned that the G5 Dual 2GHz had many kernel panics at the beginning and this was due to the RAM. This computer seems to be quite sensitive to the used RAM.
We did not get the full detailed list of the test, but it was covering a large panel of applications.
G5 @ 1.8 GHz was 19% faster than the G4 Dual 1.25 with MACOSX 10.2.7 and 27% faster with Panther beta.
G5 Dual 2 GHz was 43% faster than the G4 Dual 1.25Ghz with MACOSX 10.2.7 and 59% (!!) with Panther beta.
We let you conclude from those data.
