Quad G5 with AE
hi all,
has anyone used the new Quad G5’s with AE6/6.5?
is there a noticeable speed difference between the Quad and the Duals?
Ideally, they sound great (4 processors are better than 2) but i haven’t heard much chatter about them.
Hope all are well.

The benchmarks at https://www.gridironxfactor.com/products/nucleo_benchmarks.asp give a good indication of AEs performance potential on quads vs. duals.

I can vouch that the Quad G5 handily beats the Dual G5 in AE. I’ve got those two machines sitting right next to each other and there’s a pronounced difference. I already get annoyed when I have to use the Dual for AE stuff, which seemed pretty speedy before. 😉
Running Nucleo on the Quad speeds things up even further. I’ve had a couple of real world projects render in about the half the time on the Quad with Nucleo than they did on the Quad without it.

what is nucleo?

GridIron Nucleo is a performance enhancement plugin that is designed to maximize the use of AE on a multi-processor or multi-core workstation. In short, it speeds up renders and previews if you have more than 1 CPU.
