Hello
here is a buzz i found today:http://everythingapple.blogspot.com/...70mp-quad.html


if the next or soon G5s end up with this chip, will it matter for recording and manipulating movie files?

I thought Id ask here or should this be in the savy movie area?

I have a G4dual 1gz. if AlchemyDVR is recording a file (sorensen3) then I can't really use other 'movie' programs to manipulate other movie files as Alchemy uses '105%' of a processor. it will skip frames If the machine is ding someting else, like batch poceessing QT files or processing MPEG2 files with Streamclip.

will these programs need to be re writen to use 4 processors? QT/Streamclip/iMovie/iDVD?

what are the greoups thoughts on this.

thanks rotut

it is my understanding that 10.4 will do a much better job at policing and working with threads (much better) so you should see improvements from the get go.

that being said. those people that use dual duals (if they only appear in the highest end model) will be using Final Cut which will require 10.4 (FP5) and i believe this is so effex and transitions will use core video and core image etc... which will push these things to the GPU and speed up the process greatly. Of course this is a general statement but aprrox. correct i believe.

Heh.

BTW, the main thread on the dual-core and dual dual-core stuff is here.

thanks Wank,
Ill follow your blog. but my quesion was more to the tune of even with lots and lots of chips, will they be able to do more with one programs, ??

Indeed. Please keep all related discussion to the existing thread.
