More Quad PowerMac G5 Benchmarks
As the Quad PowerMac G5's start to arrive, more benchmarks are emerging.
Barefeats posts a collection of benchmarks from After Effects, Cinebench G5, Photoshop CS2, Xbench, and UT2004 comparing the Dual Dual-Core ("Quad") G5 2.5GHz PowerMac to the previous Dual 2.5GHz G5 PowerMac.
Meanwhile, Macsonly also provides the same comparison with some similar benchmarks but also some "Real World" tests.

These benchmarks show us a lot more than those Xbench results from a couple days ago. The new Quad looks like it will live up to the hype!

This thing seems pretty fast. It will be interesting to see what the intel powermacs will bring and possibly later revs of there duel core machines.

Most of the graphics bench's are worthless b/c the 2.5 Dual has the 6800/256 upgrade. A card which, needless to say, trounces the 6600. At least the floating point ops are showing up at roughly 2x speed.

It's interesting that OpenGL on the Quad with an nVidia 6600 was about equal to the 2.5 Dual with an nVidia 6800 Ultra. In fact, it beat the Dual 2.5 on User Interface graphics and Quartz Extreme.

not that it matters really b/c both systems had 3 sticks of 512, but when you dont pair the memory on the G5, doesnt this disable the memory interleaving capability of the G5 and severely slow down the machine ?

Looks like it's pretty fast...I wish I had one.
As I sit here waiting for my machine to finish rendering an image, I'm thinking the same thing.
I'm waiting for the 7800GT, though - so I probably won't have one until January....
Bleh,

At least these new results look real. Apple deny ever shipping any Quds in the UK so I think that guy in wales was a fake.

The G5's come with 2 X 256MB chips so this machine was still paired.
