What? The ones in Newsweek are completely different. It says something like, "The 64-bit processor. The dawn of a new era of computing." The whole ad was more about the chip than the Powermac. Too much text in my opinion.
EDIT: Man, the Time ad is WAY better than the Newsweek ad.
In the Time ad, on Page Left, they have some little performance graphs, a small picture of a G5 wafer, and a small picture of the G5, from the side, with its door on. Mainly text. On Page Right, there is a full page picture of the Powermac without it's door, from the side.
In the Newsweek ad, there is a part of a G5 wafer on the bottom of the two pages, actual size. On Page Left, there's an overview of the IBM fab process, with a small pic of a robot arm holding a wafer and an IBM logo. Page Right explains significance of 64 bit computing, and some very concise info on the Powermac. There is a small apple logo and small pic of the G5 from side with the door on. On the top of the pages, it says something like, "The 64 bit PC. A new chapter in computing."
i wonder if that speaks to their demographic information to the time and newsweek reader, or whether they feel that the readership is essentially the same, and are testing responses to the different ads.

that is the lamest thing i have heard all day
or you can see it here
it would screw up page format to post it.
once you're in the slideshow mode click it again to get actual size.

which mag was this ad from, and how does the other differ in design?
if i get my newsweek today i'll post it as well, but i don't get a mail delivery til 6 p.m. central time.

Curiousuburb, the difference is this:

Anyway, I bet we'll hear about some of these ads tomorrow from Joswiak.
or a People version with small words and poorly captioned pictures,
or a Harper's version with tons of pseudo-relevant trivia specs,
or a Fortean Times version full of attempts to debunk the Mhz myth,
or a Cosmo version with gratuitous nudity, horoscopes and vapid surveys
then i think the design for demographic pattern would deserve more recognition
actually, it's fun visualizing some of those
an Astronomy version with the imagery red-shifted to show how fast the G5 is
Muahahaha

you're right, integer is lower and floating point slightly higher than that at the Apple site. So they were cheating after all
