And if others are going to help us that's great, because we need all the help we can get, and if we screw up and we don't do a good job, it's not somebody else's fault, it's our fault.

In October 2005, Apple released the Power Mac G5 Dual featuring a Dual-Core processor – two cores in one rather than two separate processors. The Power Mac G5 Quad uses two Dual-Core processors. The Power Mac G5 Dual cores run individually at 2.0 GHz or 2.3 GHz. The Power Mac G5 Quad cores run individually at 2.5 GHz, and all variations have a graphics processor with 256-bit memory bandwidth.<sup id="cite_ref-168" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-168"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>168<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Retail_store_expansion">Retail store expansion</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=History_of_Apple_Inc.&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Retail store expansion"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Apple_Store_Ginza_(2006.05).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Apple_Store_Ginza_%282006.05%29.jpg/220px-Apple_Store_Ginza_%282006.05%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Apple_Store_Ginza_%282006.05%29.jpg/330px-Apple_Store_Ginza_%282006.05%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0e/Apple_Store_Ginza_%282006.05%29.jpg/440px-Apple_Store_Ginza_%282006.05%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1500" data-file-height="2000" /></a><figcaption>Apple Store in Ginza district, <a href="/wiki/Tokyo" title="Tokyo">Tokyo</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Initially, <a href="/wiki/Apple_Store" title="Apple Store">Apple Stores</a> were only in the United States, but in late 2003, Apple opened its first Apple Store abroad, in Tokyo's <a href="/wiki/Ginza" title="Ginza">Ginza</a> district.
