The biggest changes in Snow Leopard, Apple says, are under the hood: a move to 64-bit processing for greater memory support, the implementation of two multiprocessing technologies (Grand Central Dispatch and OpenCL) so rewritten software applications can take better advantage of multicore processors and graphics coprocessors for faster performance, and revamped QuickTime video processing and Java processing engines.
The controller for the Aficio 1055 is similar to one used in the Aficio 551 and 700 and uses PeerlessPage(TM) imaging that runs on a PowerPC 740 CPU with a Peerless QuickPrint(R) QP1910 graphics coprocessor.
Our new integrated chip design, which is based on the proven technology of IBM's PowerPC(TM) 405 core and Peerless' highly successful QuickPrint(R) graphics coprocessor, is the result of our dedicated focus on research and development in ASICs," said Gary Panzer, Peerless' Director of Silicon Strategy.
