New PSBench7 Benchmarks (Good ones!!!!)
Okay, I've used a G5 1.6 with 1GB of RAM, ran PSBench7 Advanced (50MB) file, with 1 History state and the Adobe optimization plugin installed. Here are my results (BTW, I can't seem to get it to format in a nice table, but time is in seconds for each of the three runs):
90 Degree Rotate .6 1.1 .4
9 Degree Rotate 3.0 2.8 2.7
.9 Degree Rotate 2.6 2.6 2.8
1 Gaussian .8 .6 .6
3.7 Gaussian 2.5 2.3 2.3
85 Gaussian 3.5 3.3 3.5
1 pix USM 1.3 1.2 1.1
3.7 pix USM 2.9 2.9 2.8
10 pix USM 3.6 3.4 3.4
Despecle .8 .8 .8
RGB-CMYK 4.3 4.2 4.2
60% Reduction .8 .8 .8
LensFlare 6.1 6.1 6.0
Color Halftone 4.2 4.3 4.3
NTSC Color 4.2 4.2 4.3
Accent Edge 16.3 16.3 16.2
Pointilize 25.1 25.0 25.0
Watercolor 35.6 35.7 35.8
Polar Coordinates 5.1 5.0 4.9
Radial Blur 53.8 53.6 54.3
Lighting 3.5 3.5 3.4
In comparing these results to others fromAce's Hardware, it seems as thought he 1.6 G5 is roughly about as fast overall to an Athlon 2400+, but if you notice, on some of the benchmarks, the G5 creamed even the P4 3.0Ghz with HT on. So I think with the dual 2Ghz and a lot of RAM, the G5 is going to cream everything that's out their right now. I know I've been doing my fair share of whining on these boards over the last couple of days from poor results during testing, but today after using PSBench7 (BTW, it was recovering the file-going back to the original state-in 1.3 seconds!), I'm fully convinced that the G5 is for real and is a great, great future for the Mac platform.Ace's Hardware

Comments
You see it really shine in some of the tests, especially despecle, RGB->CMYK, reduce 60%.
I assume those are the ones that altivec is suited the best at.
I'm satisfied with this kind of performance in the low-end!
Now it gets interesting.
I kept reading of some people whinning that it wasn't fast enough, well just wait for Panther and we'll see, it will destroy everything out there. Not to mension that Panther itseft will be awesome. I'm still in 10.1.5 so when it's out I'll be the first in line.
