New G5 'faster than top-speed Pentium 4'
Apple has released its fastest-ever desktop computers.
The new PowerMac G5 range has dual 64-bit PowerPC processors as standard, with speeds ranging from 1.8GHz to 2.5GHz.
Prices range from £1,449 to £2,199 and the computers are available immediately, with the exception of the 2.5GHz model, which will be available in July.
Apple claimed that for commonly used applications, the new G5 is twice as fast as a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 PC.
The new computers can be upgraded to 8GB of memory. To cool the processors quietly Apple is using a liquid cooling system, similar to ones being built into faster PCs later this year.
