The G5 is a 64-bit member of the PowerPC processor family that is fully compatible with 32-bit code. The third generation of G5 chips were first used in the Late-2005 Power Mac G5. These were the very final PowerPC chips ever used in any Mac, and were the only ever Dual-Core PowerPC chips. This chip […]
The G5 is a 64-bit member of the PowerPC processor family that is fully compatible with 32-bit code. The second generation of G5 chips were first used in the Mid-2004 Power Mac G5. The design of these were massively updated with strained silicon, with a smaller fabrication size. These chips were also used in the […]
The G5 is a 64-bit member of the PowerPC processor family that is fully compatible with 32-bit code. It was first used when the Power Mac G5 was introduced in June 2003. Only three different versions of the chip were produced before Apple made the move to Intel CPUs in 2006. IBM was the only […]
