NEWERTECH INTRODUCES MAXPOWER G4/7448 PROCESSOR UPGRADES FOR POWERMAC G4 COMPUTERS Faster Performance vs. Even the Latest Apple® Intel® Core 2 Duo Macs |
March 28, 2007, Woodstock, IL -- Newer Technology, Inc. (NewerTech) http://www.newertech.com, the leading developer of PC, Macintosh® and iPod® performance upgrades and accessories, announced today the NewerTech MAXPower® G4/7448 Single and Dual Processor Upgrades starting at $399 for Power Macintosh G4 AGP Graphics/Sawtooth, Gigabit Ethernet, Digital/Audio, or Quicksilver model computers. MAXPower Processor Upgrades are the world’s only available and shipping G4 7448 processor upgrades, delivering better performance than even new Intel-based Macintosh systems as well as up to 40% faster performance over competing 7447A processor upgrades. Real-World Test Proven In both standard benchmark applications, as well as in real-world application testing, the results show the incredible performance gains of the MAXPower G4/7448 Processor equipped PowerMac G4s. In a real-world Adobe Creative Suite Photoshop action test, the MAXPower was actually FASTER than the latest 2.33GHz iMac Core 2 Duo system. When compared to an Intel Core Solo 1.5GHz equipped Mac mini, MAXPower Processor Upgrades delivered up to 4.6 times faster performance during intensive CPU usage. MAXPower G4/7448 Processor Upgrades utilize state-of-the-art, latest generation Freescale 7448 processors and are 100% compatible with existing hardware, application software, and OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.3.5 or later with NO operating system modifications needed. By upgrading an existing PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics/Sawtooth, Gigabit Ethernet, Digital/Audio, or Quicksilver model with a MAXPower Processor Upgrade, users can enjoy faster performance better than the latest Intel based Macs while maintaining their original system investment. Performance increases are achieved with a strategic set of engineering enhancements, including 1MB of on-chip L2 cache fully pipelined for two-cycle throughput, a full implementation of AltiVec™ technology featuring enhanced support for out-of-order instruction, and the use of 90 nanometer silicon on insulator (SOI) CMOS process technology to dramatically increase clock and bus speeds while reducing power requirements. Plug-and-Play, Hassle-Free Solution MAXPower Processor Upgrades are easily installed in 10 minutes or less and offer a hassle-free solution to obtaining a huge boost in G4 performance. Now, instead of buying an expensive new system plus the additional cost and hassle of installing software and hardware upgrades to work with the new system, PowerMac G4 owners can continue to use and enjoy their current system with the highest performance available. “Apple built the PowerMac G4 to last and our new MaxPower G4/7448 Processor Upgrades give these systems an unprecedented level of processing power,” said Larry O’Connor, President of Newer Technology. “Using less power and running cooler than the competition, no other G4 processor upgrade even comes close to MAXPower’s capabilities. When you consider the cost of not only a new computer, but also the cost of software needed to get best use from it, NewerTech’s MAXPower upholds our long standing reputation of cost-effective solutions which make a NewerTech enhanced system ‘Better than New’.” MAXPower G4/7448 Processor Upgrade Highlights:
