Well, the world has been abuzz ever since Apple accidentally released specs for the new Mac G5. It’s now official that the new Mac G5 will be the world’s fastest desktop.

Bravo is the best I can do. Now not only has Mac innovated with GUI and user experience, they’ve innovated drastically with speed as well. I recognize that Mac’s have always been faster than PC’s on a hertz:speed ratio, however this is truly unprecedented.

The G5 will have more raw power as well as more actual power. I’m a total PC guy, and won’t be switching to Mac for the same reason I won’t switch to xNix any time soon: I’m a creature of habit. But, hopefully this will be that kick Intel needs to bring out those next gen chips which are done, but they’ve been putting on the “profit cycle shelf” (ie: until someone does something better, they let each chip bring in maximum dollars).

I truly hope this breakthrough shakes the ground of the PC world.

Oh, and if I hear one PC guy say “it’s not the speed that matters, it’s what you do with it” there’ll be some serious beatings happening. Respect to the folk at Apple.
