MWNY: Expo
Pictures - Page 1
Like earlier years we took a few pictures from the show floor of
some vendors and the action and new items in the Apple booth.
Apple's large banners where deployed less in the large atrium then
in previous years. At the center was nVidia's large banner on graphics
for Macs.
The Apple Theater area was packed with hundreds of folks at all
hours of the day throughout the show. Somewhere in the distance
toward the back is my lovely wife. If she had Larry King's hairdo
and painted it bright pink I'm sure we'd be able to see her. Oh
well...
At left below a presentation of the speed of the QuickSilver G4's
was being put on. Emphasized in this particular slide is the fact
that the new G4's have 2MB L3 caches. Not L2 cache's, mind you—they
have those as well, but L3.
Having large amounts of memory right next to the processor alleviates
the need for the processor to fetch needed data off the hard drive,
which is a much slower process fetching data off RAM. This accelerates
programs like Adobe Photoshop, video editing and 3D applications
tremendously.
With the dual processor model you end up with 2 x 2 MB of L3 cache
(4 megs is
huge for L3 purposes!) which really makes that machine fly through
certain processor intensive applications.
