I think the guy with the 1.4 or 1.8Ghz Athlon said he ran it in 30 secs or so. I can see where the AltiVec and data pre-fetching streams are the real number crunching strength of the modern PowerPC (not used in this code). So as I always say: there's no one OS - or platform - that's the best for all jobs. -Rob

Someone asked about other benchmark utilities. The coolest one I've seen is altivec fractal carbon. This program will test your machine to see how fast it can render a fractal. It displays the peak / avg gigaflops that your machine achieved and even allows you to disable altivec & dual processors. With this benchmark, Atlivec helps A TON. When I shut off dual processors and altivec, my G4 hit nearly [slightly faster] the same gflop rating as my 400MHz powerbook. Which is exactly what I expected to happen.

You talking about this? http://daugerresearch.com/fractaldem...talcarbon.html I've never tried. I'll do that tonight (hopefully). -Rob

| Now this is amazing
Just for fun, I ran the benchmark on the 733 Quicksilver (768mb RAM) with the following applications open: Photoshop Illustrator Quark Sherlock OmniWeb ATM Deluxe Filemaker iTunes during the entire time, I was playing an MP3 with iTunes, and there was not a single pause or hiccup in the music. Time: 1.9833 Now is that multi-tasking, or what!?! |
