Power Macintosh Fact Sheet

On March 14, 1994, Apple Computer introduced Power Macintosh--a new family
of PowerPC-based personal computers which offers an impressive combination
of power, price/performance and compatibility.  Today, just ten months
after the introduction, more than 1 million Power Mac systems and upgrades
have been shipped through the end of 1994, well ahead of Apple's stated
goal of shipping 1 million systems within the product's first 12 months. 
Support for Power Mac from software developers continues to be strong with
over 450 "native" applications which have been optimized for Power Mac and
provide two to five times the performance of today's fastest 68040 and
486-based PCs.  And, a recent Ingram Labs study determined that Power Mac
systems outperformed Windows computers based on equivalent clock-speed
Pentium processors by an average of 38%.
