World's fastest desktop?
SAN FRANCISCO -- Apple Computer Inc. has reignited the old debate over the most powerful desktop computer.
The new Power Mac, unveiled Monday but not for sale until August, is based on the G5 microprocessor. Unlike the 32-bit chips found in most Microsoft Windows-based computers, the G5 can process data in 64-bit chunks, allowing a computer to more quickly access large amounts of memory.
"This is the world's fastest personal computer," chief executive Steve Jobs said. Analysts were skeptical of Apple's bold claim.
