Jazket Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Both machines where first prepared to do the video. Its a Product Commercial... don't you all know how Companies do their stuff? And if this guy is not an apple employee, he actually thinks like them... :huh: A whole thread for this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphonic Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 It's not a commerical, it's a geek test. Geeks do this stuff all the time. My iBook G4 takes about a minute to boot with me entering the password aswell...but as a previous poster said, I don't ever see the boot screen except after major software updates (i.e. 10.4.4). Before that this laptop had been on over a month...I wish I could say the same about my Windows XP computer :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebMotiva Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Check this out guys, the iMac G5 against a new intel boot time comparison. This is not even funny! The intel completely destroys the G5. :o :o :o http://www.youtube.com/?v=zmaAZwkhYeQ ARE YOU SURE?

Fonte: http://www.macaddict.com/forums/topic/76536/1 Intel is so slower due to 32bit and not AltiVec that even Mac Mini 1.25 exports video much faster. Ouch! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSim905 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think most people don't believe that a Intel chip can be so powerful ... Practically a fight on Macs in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebMotiva Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think most people don't believe that a Intel chip can be so powerful ... Practically a fight on Macs in itself. It will be but now right now. Mac users are already using 64bit apps and AltiVec. Intel is something for ordinary PCs or portable Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 That G5 boots up so slowly. My Powerbook beasts that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoogleNinja Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 http://silvermac.com/blog/archives/58 Problem solved. The new iMac is not all that much faster. It makes me wonder... Do you think Apple knew that the iMac G5 was faster at booting up, and therefore implemented the delay after pushing the power button and having the display turn on?

+general chaos Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 My PC smokes em both! I do think that moving to intel was the right thing for Apple to do; but it's still just an Apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docvenom04 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Obviously something is wrong with the iMac G5. I have a first gen 1.8 and it starts up waaaayyyy faster than that. Closer to the intel, maybe even the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconboy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 ive never owned a mac, but if my system took that long to boot i would have shipped it back to apple and asked for my money back. My 5 year old Athlon 1900+ PC smokes that on startup... while is runs... thats another issue! ;) hahahahahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 i dont know why people says there's something wrong with the G5, my powermac dual 2.0 took about the same time too boot (one of the reason i never turned it off)....on a side note my mac mini took the same amount of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetik Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 They said it came right out of the box for both of them so :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvo Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 eh? i have a rev B iMac 20" 2.0ghz and it boots up just as fast as the intel. They are not right out of the box as you would get a Tiger introduction video, they have been booted before. I smell FAKE from a mile away.

KeR Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 That can't be right, I have had a G5 iMac since they first came out, and mine boot under 50sec to the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyClaw Veteran Posted January 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 17, 2006 It takes my PowerBook exactly 63 seconds to boot from the time I press the silver button till I get to my desktop. I just timed it. Somethings up with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erekigitaa Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 There's no way the boot time was correct. Taken from digg.com ... "Everyone saw that video and everyone knows it's a con. But what are the real boot up times ? You'll be very surprised to see my test results. or maybe not surprised at all." Go to http://silvermac.com/blog/archives/58 for proof!

Max Veteran Posted January 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 17, 2006 My eMac 1.25Ghz takes like around the same time as the Intel one does. OS X looks faster though just by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
