Luigi, one of our swiss readers, sent us a video of an old G5 dual 2 GHz and a new Quad 2.5 GHz working side by side. They are both equipped with 2Gb RAM.
He simultaneously applied on the two machines a blue filter on a 4 seconds HDV 1080i video.
The Quad took 26 seconds to apply the filter while the Dual took 1 minute.
For video professionals, the difference is really huge and justifies changing the machine.
