Computers 2004 Top Products Award Winner: Xserve G5
Xserve G5 delivers more than 30 gigaflops of processing power per system, about 60 percent more than the PowerPC G4-based Xserve. It features a PowerPC G5, 64-bit processor and includes a system controller with up to 8 GB of PC3200 error-correcting code (ECC) memory; three hot-plug Serial ATA drive modules that deliver up to 750 GB of storage; optional internal hardware RAID; dual PCI-X slots, supporting 133 MHz PCI-X cards with over 1 GBps of throughput; and dual onboard Gigabit Ethernet for high-performance networking. Available with either single or dual 2.0 GHz PowerPC G5 processors, the system’s architecture is based on an execution core that features massively parallel computation for 215 in-flight instructions, full symmetric multi-processing, two double precision floating-point units and an optimized Velocity Engine.
