iMac G5 2.1/1.9 Vs. Previous iMac G5 2.0 and Dual Core G5 2.0

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sun 6th Nov 2005 20:19 UTC, submitted by Ralf.

"We don't have all the results yet but we're giving you what we have so far on the new iMac G5s (2.1GHz and 1.9GHz) compared to the previous model (2.0GHz). I hypothesized that we'd see small gains in CPU intensive tasks and big gains in graphics intensive tasks. I noticed in various discussion groups that many consumers are trying to decide between the high end iMac and low end Power Mac. So I included the results from the Dual-Core G5/2.0GHz Power Mac."

GCC 4.0.0 (the default compiler in Tiger).

Incorrect; the default until the shipping of 2.1 was actually 3.3; MacOS 10.4 is still compiled with 3.3 for compatibility reasons; they made 4.0 the default when they shipped xCode 2.1.

I'm looking forward to 2.2 though, and hopefully the improvements in GCC 4.0 will come through.

Are you sure? I haven't used tiger myself yet but I'm almost certain that gcc 4 is the system compiler. Or at least that's what I've read.
