Cupertino, CA -- April 1, 2004 -- Apple® today announced its first-ever triple-CPU system, the PowerMac G5 Cubed®. Featuring a total of three G5 processors, the G5 Cubed offers unmatched desktop processing power. "It's clearly the fastest thing we've ever made, and it's head and shoulders above anything the Wintel world has to offer," said Apple and Pixar CEO Steve Jobs.
"Pixar is what really drove us to make this machine," Steve continued. "After they switched to the G5 last quarter, they told me they really needed some added horsepower for the render farm. We had our engineers look at quad-CPU G5s, but our water cooling system isn't quite yet ready for prime time. People have been asking us to bring back the Cube, and while we don't feel we're ready to tackle that form factor again, we liked the name a lot and so 'G5 Cubed' stuck."
There will be two models in the G5 Cubed line, the entry-level triple 2.0ghz machine and the top-of-the-line triple 2.5ghz model. Both feature the industry’s highest bandwidth memory (400 MHz 128-bit DDR SDRAM with throughput up to 6.4 GBps); the industry’s fastest PCI interface available on a desktop (133 MHz PCI-X); and cutting-edge AGP 8X Pro graphics capabilities, all wrapped in the award-winning G5 aluminum enclosure. Each CPU features an independent front-side bus running at speeds of up to 1.25ghz. The entry-level model will start at $2,899, while the top-of-the-line Cubed model will begin at $3,599.
