I'm very curious to see someone's results with a TiBook G4.
I'm still running on my old "top of the line" Powerbook G3/300 (176 MFLOPS). The wifey is using an iBook 600 (370 MFLOPS). This is all under 10.1.
I'm soon going to grad school, where I'll be running lots of computationally intensive scientific apps (Stata, Mathematica, etc.) I'll get a new computer when I go. I've always liked having a notebook; but if the desktops kick so much butt on DP-enabled, AltiVec-enabled code, I might have to reconsider.
So can someone kindly try this on a TiBook, to compare a reasonably-speedy TiBook G4 to the seriously-speedy DP towers?
I got 8123 megaflops on my dual 1 gig, the first scores were in the 7800 range, thats damn good, my dual 450 showed 3026 megaflops. 8123 rocks the house.

Not bad ?

iMac 233 (Rev a) OS 9.
I'm very interested to see how a 800MHz G4 with no L3 cache and on a 100MHz bus does at this benchmark.
altivec on: 3209.9MFLOPS
altivec off: 455.2 MFLOPS
:eek:
so altivec /can/ make a difference

No, I had traveled back in time to post some messages and it stands for time trouble
158mflops in 90.2 sec. after I quit all apps;
146mflops in 97.7 sec. after turned off Altivec code;
145mflops in 98.0 sec. before twiddling anything

On a Dual 800 with 10.1.2 i've got 5443.3 MegaFlops in 2.4 sec <hr></blockquote>
System:
Powermac G4 400 MHz "Sawtooth" motherboard w/ AGP.
576 MB RAM
OS X, 10.1.2
MFlops:
Altivec ON: 1367
Altivec OFF: 309
Isn't that Altivec sweet? Wintel users, go put those results in your pipe, and smoke 'em!
With One Processor: 4,7 sec / 2845.8 MF
With Two: 2.3 sec / 5671.7 MF
Altivec Off (Mono): 33.9 sec / 419.9 MF
Altivec Off (Dual): 16.9 sec / 844.0 MF
also i'm curious if using the older mobo really would make a differance seeing how as it still had 100mhz bus and pc 100 ram.
for those who are confused the yikes! machines used the same motherboard as the b&w g3s. (if you have a g4 with no agp slot you own a yikes! machine)
Results: 6991.1 Megaflops at default settings
I can tweak it to go higher but the defaul settings seem to be the fair comparison.
ibook 600 mhz w/ 256 megs of ram.
system 9.2.1
419 mflops
compare that to the earliest g4 tower
hehe
