Fastest and most efficient processor ever. Created by Apple and IBM, after Apple ditched Motorola (A cell phone company) and callaborated with IBM to form the G5. The only current mac to have the G5 processor is the Powermac G5, and most people often refer to the powermac as just the "G5." The G5 is not exactly the most liked Mac by other Mac users, but everyone knows that it is indeed the fastest. Several nicknames for the G5 exist, these include: Cheese grater, Refrig-o-mac, PC, ugly shit. These are usually due to the fact that its not the most pretty Mac around. And its big boxy nature. The term cheese grater was formed because the front of the Powermac G5 has tiny holes, which make it look like a cheese grater.
Damn foo' look at that huge cheese grater, I mean G5.
This G5 is a very very fast personal computer.

An Exceedingly hot computer processor. So inefficient that Apple couldn't use it in its laptops. The biggest reason for the PPC to Intel transition.
G5 User: Dude, my iMac has a G5, it's 64-bit!
Me (Aka G3 User): Wow, my iBook is a G3 and it runs better and with less power than yours!
G5 User: Wow, it's hard to believe that Mac users can hate each other!

The processor used in Apples Power Macintosh G5. The G5 is the first 64 bit personal computer, though its not the first 64 bit computer. (read: not a sun system, but a computer common people use)Like most companies, Apple overexaderates the power of the G5, but even without Apple PR's help can toast most other PC processors available on the market today.

One of the fatest, best designed, and most efficient processors ever developed as of August 2003. Most Pee-cee windoze oozers get scared and insecure when this is mentioned and resort to their infernal cry of "OMG APPLE CHEETED ON THOSE BENCHMARKS CUZ UH MACS R SLOW YAH DEY SUX!"
Even though none of them can provide any solid evidence to support the idea that Apple skewed the benchmarks, all wintel users everywhere agree that they must have done so because macs can NEVER be faster than pcs, right?
