"Because they also dramatically raised prices on the Pro workstations." The PowerMac G5 Quad cost $3300. The Base model Mac Pro that was release less than a year later cost $2200, and it greatly outperformed the G5. Base model PowerMac in 2005 - $2000
Base model MacPro in 2012 - $2500 Adjusting for inflation from 2005 to 2012: $2,000 becomes $2,359.67 After adjusting for inflation, Apple raised the price by $140 between 2005-2012, but they also 6x the base RAM and WiFi became standard. Not to mention the significant performance and efficiency improvements. I don't know how much the WiFi upgrade cost on a G5, but if it cost more than $140 Apple actually reduced the price of the Pro workstations during the switch to intel. |
