sometimes i dont get apple....they update there CONSUMER imac product with core 2 duo and leave their PRO macbook in the dust. The imac are essentially way faster than the macbook pros at this point...just dosent make any sense. Oh well lets hope they get updated next week...
Interesting... this page shows the new 2.33 GHz iMac with 7300GT getting 47fps on the Quake 4 timedemo.
But the Mac Pro graphics page shows the 3.0 GHz Mac Pro with 7300GT getting only 35fps. What gives? iMac is faster than the 3.0GHz Mac Pro with the same graphics card?

They probably used different settings. Apple routinely fiddles with settings for games to make their newer models appear better than their older ones.
I remember when the G4 iMac was upgraded, they had a graph showing something like a 180% speed improvement. Asked where they got that number from, Apple refused to respond and the graph mysteriously disappeared.

oh wait...
pfffffffff. no Black One... Boooooh
awesome. (i thought so)
one is on it's way to me now
(well...i will be shortly)
so is this itunes movie store gonna be able to stream videos at 1920 by 1200???
(*99% joking*)
It wont be streamed, but it'll almost definitely be in iPod resolution/framerate just like the TV shows.
600MB per hour is about all I think they'd do.
I'll stick to netflix.
And the NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT to the GeForce 7300 GT.
I wonder how this NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT compares to the ATI Radeon X1600.

Apple gives you already a clue.

Where do you see 35 fps for the 3.0 GHz Mac Pro?
EDIT: never mind, you just mixed up the links. The difference should be in test resolution.

Yes, sorry, here is the Mac Pro graphics page .
On the bar chart, you need to hover over "Quake 4" to see the results, other wise it shows the Doom 3 results.
Test was run with monitor set to 1280x1024, high quality. The iMac test doesn't say... but the 24" iMac native res is larger than 1280x1024.
Both graphics cards are 7300GT with 256MB.
