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
The example Jitter patches along with the Cycling'74 sample media we used to standardize our tests were:
- 1) jit.gl.slab-DVcompareCPU.pat
- 2) jit.gl.slab-DVcompareGPU.pat
- 3) jit.gl.slab-op3sources.pat
- 4) uyvy-4dv-vidplane.pat
Stay tunned for the results ! We have some very interesting numbers !
