| 07-03-08 / 22:44 : MacBookPro dual 2,6 Ghz vs G4 mono 1,25Ghz (cjed) | Macbidouille presents benchs (made with xbench 1.3) of the new MacBook Pro dual core 2,6 Ghz. In processor tests it is 3 times faster than the single G4 mono 1,25 Ghz (3 to 5 times in floating tests, and less than two times faster in FFT tests, that is G4's Altivec is still superior to even SSE4), 6 times faster in threads management, 4 times faster in memory tests, between 2 to 3 times faster in Quartz 2D and OpenGL tests, and up to 12 times faster in user interface tests ! The hard disk is slightly slower than the G4 internal disk, that is honest for a laptop.
We can then suppose that a dual 1,8 Ghz G4 would be as fast, fitted with the same memory bus and a recent graphic card (that should have great influence in UI tests in Leopard). There is still to know if the Intel processor second core was used fully. | | | Comments | | Write a comment | |
