Let us gather G5 Benchmarks - requests!

anna mated

With G5's about to hit the stores, I (and Im sure many others!) want to see the realworld scores. If you have a specific benchmark you need too see, post it here, and If you are the lucky bastard with a G5, make us all happy and please run the tests to make us drool.



I'd like to see Maxon's CineBench 2003.

www.cinebench.com



Any participants, please list the model and basic specs. And don't forget, dont run more than 1 benchmark at the same time, or with other apps running in the background.



Many thanks

Marcus

How about the standard SETI WU from ars? Would love to know just how well the G5 handles such serious floating-point (FFT, Gaussian fitting, etc.)

In another thread, Gaston was suggested. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20574



My iMac tray loader G3 266 with 512MB came in at 0.01 fps, 143.221 sec.



I look forward to the G5 benchmarks.

I am very interested in the UT2K3 botmatch results. That is the most important benchmark for gaming (the driving force behind high end PCs).

I would like to see x-plane 7.00 frame rate results.

Anna, I noticed in you profile your computer(s) are "Dual Athlon MP2600 & PPC970 Prototype."



PPC970 Prototype? Are you prototyping a Mac? Is that what you mean? Just curious.

... posting to the wrong thread.... ups

Here's cinebench benchmarks:

http://www.chaosmint.com/powermac-g5-16/



These are alarming benchmarks because they are barly faster than a athlon @ 1.4ghz. Seems like another mediocre computer from Apple. Why doesn't apple learn to do things right for ones!!!



Hope the G5 doesn't inherit the G4 blues.



I would like to se some extensive Lightwave benchmarks.

Your a ****ing idiot.

Here's some more Cinebench2003 results, beginning on page 6. Around page 7 we see some 1.8GHz G5 benchmarks.



I agree with Karl about the G5 being mediocre. It still isn't touching Intel's highend at 3D.

Quote for the above link:



Mac users are up in arms. Machines based around a brand new, highly anticipated processor core with a longer pipeline and higher clock speeds have been released by Apple, but the Cinema 4D rendering benchmark "proves" that the performance of these machines is at least 30 percent slower clock for clock than Apple fans were expecting. They are outraged. A few people caution against drawing conclusions from software that has not yet been recompiled for the new processor core, but nobody is listening to them.



The date is March 2001. The brand new processor core? The MPC 7450, aka "G4e."



What, you thought I was talking about a different processor?



I kid you not - this is deja vu all over again (to quote Yogi). When it was released, the G4e (MPC 7450) was actually 33% slower, clock for clock, than the G4 (MPC 7400) in the Cinema 4D rendering test (if you don't believe me, check out http://www.barefeats.com/G4733.htm). But today, with the app recompiled for the 7450, the G4e achieves performance that is on par, clock for clock, with the original G4. In other words, recompiling Cinema 4D for the 7450 resulted in a 50% performance increase in that benchmark on the G4e.



The moral of the story is that you should never pass judgement on a new processor core until the binaries have been recompiled for it, at the very least.

I just hope Apple removes the OSX 'debug code' soon. Then these systems are going to fly!

Remember when the P4 first came out, and all the benchmarks put it slightly slower than the P3? It takes a while to update software for a new chip--and these benchmarks are interesting, but no reason to panic.

Barefeats has got some benchmarks, including the dualie.

I find hobold's posts particularly interesting. Well worth the read.
