I can confirm that my new Dual Core has a "different" plug in socket, where the cord plugs into the computer. All of the new G5s have the same new, heavy-duty plug with the "different" design. The gauge of the cord itself is also waay heavier than my last G5...I'm no electrical genius, so bear with me, but the cord is easily 30% heavier than in the previous generation of G5s.
I'm sure Apple has its reasons. The Power Supply in these new G5s is 710Watts for the 2.0 and 2.3Ghz G5s, and the Quad gets a 1000Watt unit, from what I've read. I may be wrong about those numbers, but I'll search my bookmarks file and see if I can find the link for the replacement PSupply for my G5...I looked it up one day last week and it was 710Watts.
