Apple issues new G5 benchmarks | |
|
||
| Time: 13:00 EST/18:00 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Apple has issued SPEC benchmarks for its new 2GHz Dual CPU workstation, pitting it against a two-way Dell Xeon and a 3Ghz Pentium 4 machine. The results are in line with Intel's historically strong performance in integer performance and PowerPC's equally strong floating point results. But according to Apple the gcc compiler used did not support the AltiVec floating point instructions, and yet the G5 machine managed to trump both Dells on trial, scoring 840 to the Dell Pentium's 693 and the dual Xeon's 646 in the SPECfp_base2000 benchmark. | ||

"A clutch of other benchmarks have been released by Apple, including a Quake 3 benchmark at 1024x768 giving the G5 a score of 337 frames per second compared to the Pentium's 275...."
Hmmm... from http://www.zdnetindia.com/reviews/hardware/processors/stories/64847.html "The test was run in three different settings, Normal, High, Max (1024x786x32x32). Here the Pentium 4 2.8GHz posted a mind-bending average score of 434.2 FPS in the normal mode.... As we pushed the settings further up, there was hardly any difference in the score and in the high quality mode the average framerate achieved was 414FPS." And this was the 2.8GHz. |
