SNEAK PREVIEW !  Mac vs PC vs "Mac-Intel's" - Using Max/MSP Jitter & Cinebench

Cycling'74 has released its universal binary for the Mac-Intel computers. It's in beta but we've seen good results right from the very start - meaning the beta shows modest improvements on PPC macs and really nice improvements on Intel bBased Macs.To make things interesting we are about to publish our initial results in a massive comparison test. Along with testing Max/MSP and Jitter on a number of platforms both PC and Mac we did some standard testing using Maxon’s Cinebench to get a ball park figure of where these machines stand in terms of raw CPU and GPU scores. Here's a list of machine there we're testing with:

1) Quad G-5 2.5Ghz/ 2 gig ram / Nvida  GeForce 6600 256mb

2) Intel Pentium D 950 (Dual)  3.4Ghz / 2 gig ram / ATI X1900GT 256 mb -(Built by [PAM])

3) Shuttle XPC 83G5 / Pentuim 4  HT 3.4Ghz / 2 gig ram / ATI X600 256 mb -(Built by [PAM])

4) Dual G-5 2.0Ghz / 2 gig ram / Nvida GeForce FX 5200 64mb

5) Mac Book Pro Duo Core 1.8Ghz / 2 Gig Ram/ ATI X1600 -128mb

6) Powerbook  G-4 1.5 Ghz / 1.5 gig ram / ATI  360 Mobility 64mb

7) Dual G4 800Mhz / 768 gig ram / Nivda Ge Force 64 mb
