Let's test the NEW Cinebench 2003 on our G5
Go here and you can find the beta version of Cinebench optimised for the G5.
I'll post score from a stock 1.8 soon...

fine. do you also have some numbers to compare these with other machines?

barefeats was working with a beta release (i think - well, i'm assuming that's what "pre-release" means), rather than a final release, so there might be slight differences. indeed, the results above are slightly better than what barefeats got.

whoops, i should have read the first post more closely. it's still in beta, so yes, the barefeats results are for more-or-less the same thing. i blame maccentral for publishing the news of g5-optimised cinebench without mentioning the word "beta" once
edit: [digging own hole even deeper]: seems maccentral now mentions that it is a public beta ? i'm sure it wasn't there before though. off to my corner...

hey no problem
here are my G4/400 numbers... i hope that i can get one of those new crazy machines soon...
Rendering: 43 CB-CPU
C4D Shading: 56 CB-GFX
OpenGL SW-L: 142 CB-GFX
OpenGL HW-L: 86 CB-GFX
OpenGL Speedup: 2.55x
i'm going to test if there is a difference between the "normal" and the "G5-optimized" version...

since the G5-version crashes when starting i can't test this ...
It'll be interesting to try this again with Panther to see if there is any difference and then again with the final version of this app.

Nice to see that my numbers are slightly higher than BareFeats'. Also nice to see the 1.8 being faster than the DP 1.42 G4: 105.2 sec (G5) vs. 107 sec (DP G4) render time.
How much variation were you getting between results? Barefeats' methodology is notoriously shonk... it's possible that he didn't average his figures.
And it is nice to see a benchmark which was traditionally not-so-good for Apple hardware looking significantly more competitive.

Not that large: for the render time I saw between 105.2 and 105.9 sec. It seemed (and this is not scientific at all !) that I could get faster speeds if I ran just the render test on its own and more than one run in a row.
