Description The new Power Mac G4 is not just the fastest Mac in history. It's the fastest personal computer in history. Because your high-resolution image files, special lighting effects, 3D rendering, digital video and advanced speech-recognition all have one thing in common: they make insatiable demands on your computer's processor. Enter the Power Mac G4. Quite simply the fastest machine ever designed to run graphics applications like Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and QuarkXPress, the Power Mac G4 rips through processor-intensive tasks like Gaussian blurs, lighting effects, rotations and color conversions. With its Pentium-crushing speed and convention-crushing design, the Power Mac G4 picks up where the best-selling G3 left off. The new PowerPC G4, designed by Apple, Motorola and IBM, is the first microprocessor that can deliver a sustained performance of over one gigaflop. The PowerPC G4 with Velocity Engine works with the PowerPC architecture to accelerate the data-intensive processing required by next-generation video, voice and graphics applications. Among the G4 key features is a vector permute function capable of rearranging data in the registers-a priceless benefit when converting data from one format to another.
