How much faster are the new iMacs from my older Macpro?

Anyone have any idea how much faster a new iMac would be than my older Macpro? Please see attached image. Thanks!

There are a number of benchark tests for the new iMacs. A quick Google search found:

How much fast are the new iMac's?

I've been looking at upgrading my G5 PowerMac for a while and now Apple has just updated the iMac. How much faster are the new models over the just superseded ones and my G5 (spec below).
I mainly us it for my work with Photoshop CS2 and the G5 does a great job most of the time but is showing it's age. I was looking at the 2nd model but for not much more you can get the 27inch screen with better upgrade options.

Hi Craig,
even the very first 2006 released Intel iMacs were faster than the G5 iMacs including yours.
See this Barefeats test http://www.barefeats.com/imcd3.html
Check additional tests on Barefeats on older iMacs against newer ones http://www.barefeats.com/
The new 2010 iMacs of any sort run circles around the 2006 iMacs, so you are in for a very pleasant surprise

How much faster are the Quad-Core Macpros?

Does anyone have any idea how much quicker a Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon will encode video in FCP, Compressor, and DVD SP, vs. a Two 3.0GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon?
Thanks.

in some areas motion in particular or exporting mpeg2 from fcp timeline, is slower on this 8 core than on the older dual2gig PPC. this machine has the Nvidea quadro FX4500 which one would hope is faster using motion but doesn't seem to be. that being said compressor rocks using temp Qmaster 4 instance like making 2 pass mpeg2 from a movie file, 90 min movie compressed in 40 min. photoshop and after effects rocks due to multiprocessor use and rendered timeline stuff though not always clean is much faster. having to render more than once and having to watch top to bottom from a QT export out of FCP ***** somedays. Over all it's worth it in my busy every day world

Without knowing what you have tried please open System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing and select File Sharing. If you still have trouble you can call AppleCare in the morning when they re-open. You have 90 days of telephone support if you haven't already bought AppleCare.

How many gigs are the new ipods?

There is no way to know what they will do.
You can look at Apples website and see everything that is known.

Macbook pro or imac, how much faster is the imac?

I work on huge photoshop files. Up to 15gb sometimes. In the studio I have a macpro 8 core, 32gb ram. However, I also do work abroad, and for this I bought a macbook pro 2.4ghz intel 2 duo, 3 years ago. when travelling I keep my files to 1GB or less. It's still painfully slow.
I need a faster portable option. Can anybody advise me on the new macbook pro, vs macmini, vs imac? how do the fastest macbook pro hold up against the fastest imac?

Take a look at this. There are probably a few more on the web that you can find.

The fact is that the iMacs have faster processors than the MBPs but the new MBPs will be significantly faster that your old one. With that said, your MAC PRO will still be faster than both the new MBP and the new iMac.
I suspect that if portability is an issue, the MBP probably should get the nod. The iMac's are big and heavy.
Ciao.

So how are the new iMacs? (Reviews, sightings, etc)

I've been scouring the 'Net for any information about the new Intel iMacs, but hardly a peep from anyone that I've seen. I'm specifically looking for information on the new 24, but any info will do.
Are they quiet? Fast?
How are the screens? Are they too big (yeah, right). I read here [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3080026&#3080026] that the screens are dark on the sides. Isolated issue?
How do the internal speakers/bigger amp sound? I'm looking to get rid of mine to free up desk space and I'd like to confidently be able to put them into storage.
I've already ordered mine last week (second Mac to own, first iMac), but I'm waiting on it to ship, as it's a BTO with everything upgraded except the RAM is only 2G. This wait is killing me! There is little info on these new Macs. Please, someone post at least a first impression introductory review.
Any info/pics that anyone can share would be greatly appreciated. I've set up RSS with Flickr, Digg, Google news and the iMac discussions and I've seen 3 different 24" unpacking photo sets with what seems to be cell phone quality snapshots and 0 reviews.
Someone fill us in and post some quality shapshots so we can see how big this thing is!

Michael,
Sorry to hear about that however once Apple ships the product it's in the hands of the shipper and Apple loses all control the same as Dell, HP, Acer etc... All the manufacturer's go to great lengths to ensure machines are packaged adequately so they can take the rigors shippers put them through however there are always going to be individual cases where contents are damaged. For example most computer manufactures make their packaging so the computers can be dropped from 10 or more feet onto a concrete floor. However there is no way they can protect a box if it's kicked in or crushed.
If she bought the computer from Apple's online store simply call AppleCare, explain the issue and they will arrange for a replacement. If it was purchased from another vendor and shipped to you then you will have to deal with that vendor's return policy.
Either way it's a shame and I'm sorry it happened to you and your daughter but rest assured it's a rare exception.
Regards,
Roger

When are the new iMacs coming out?

I want to buy a new iMac but I'm not sure if I should wait to get the next revision. Are they coming out soon?

History has shown us this for the last several iMacs...
21.5" and 27" was introduced in October of 2009
The next revision was July 2010..
You should be able to see the pattern from above. If you look back further for different models you will find other similar patterns.
We never really know for sure until Apple releases the next version.

How do I stop the new Pages from updating the old Pages? It is automatically updating, but I don't want it to because it's horrible!!!

I downloaded the new Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, but they're horrible so I deleted them. Now they keep trying to update my old iWorks. I don't want them they are horrible!!! It is automatically updating (I don't have it set to automatic update), so I have it paused, but I don't know how long that will last before they finish the update. Apple, what are you doing to your loyal customers? You are making inferior software and forcing it on us. Why?

Peter,
Luckily it had stopped trying to upgrade overnight, but your suggestion definitely helped. I checked in the System Preferences and, sure enough, I had the auto-upgrade checked for regular programs but not apps. So, it was doing what I told it, even though it wasn't what I wanted! I am very thankful that I get to stay with my Pages 4 for now. I love my Mac because it has always been so intuitive, searching for what I needed was fairly easy. Unfortunately, some of the new upgrades of late don't fit that bill. Pages 5 has some work to be done before I will feel comfortable switching. Thank you for your help!
Now, any idea why my Calendar has frozen with the message "Moving calendars to server account..." ever since I downloaded Maverick? I have had to do a force quit for the last two nights to get it to shut off so I can turn off my computer. The swirling candycane of death accompanies this message. I would be glad to undo whatever I have done....if I only knew what that was!

Are the new iMacs Merom or Conroe?

Alright so I don't totally care whether my new iMac that is coming is a Merom or a Conroe, but I'd like to know. I can't believe that is anywhere in the specs. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Hello,
Okay cool. You would think they would put that on the
spec sheet though...
Well, it is in there, kind-of. The show that the bus speed is lower.
But, they obviously don't want to advertise that they picked the slower of the Core2Duo products. That isn't something that they're going to want to draw attention to.
It really works in their favor that Intel decided to call both products Core2Duo instead of calling the Merom by the Centrino name and Conroe by Core2Duo.
If Intel had kept the distinctive names, Apple would have a harder time convincing us to buy a Centrino-based desktop because it would be very obvious it was being powered by a mobile processor.
But, with Intel calling them both Core2Duo, only the people who really, really care are going to look and see what it is using.
I think they probably are best leaving the details out when it comes to marketing. They still won't sell one to me (I was wanting Conroe). But, they'll sell tons of them to people who only look at the surface and see "Core2Duo".

How much faster is the 2.7GHz Quad Core Intel Core i5 than the 2.7GHz Dual Core Intel Core i5?

Hi there,
I'm considering buying either a Mac Mini (2.7GHz Dual Core Intel Core i5) or an iMac (2.7GHz Quad Core Intel Core i5). I'm just wondering what the difference in speed is between the two different chips. If both had 4GB of memory would the iMac be a lot faster than the Mac Mini? I'm a graphic designer so I'd be mostly using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
Many thanks,
Richard

You mean this information:

How do I keep the new tab from comming up all the time?

From email, whenever I click on an attachment, it opens in another window with the tab for the attachment as I expect. But the NewTab TAB opens as well and is the active tab. So I have to click on the attachment tab to view it. Then when done, if I delete the attachment tab , I also have to delete the NEW Tab as well.
This is a recent development and is different from the way things worked before.

Where are the new iMacs Shipping From

Hey everyone. I ordered mine thursday, BTO:
Better 17", 2GB RAM, 2.0Ghz Intel core 2 duo.
Any Idea where it will be shipping from? I ordered a bunch of other stuff with it, and that stuff is shipping from all over the country.
Thanks

I didn't know that, Glor. All Macs I have seen shipped that were BTOs came direct from China. Apple does has distributors here that ship the stock configurations out of course, but I was not aware of local distrbution points for BTOs as well.
I have never heard of a locally shipped BTO from anyone on these discussions.
Did any of yours come from local sources? Just curious as mine came from China.
