  • For more Gaston-Scores lookhere Gaston makes heavy use of Altivec (3.5 times faster than without! Try running it on an iBook!) and Dual-CPU (extremely close to Factor 2! Yes, 2, the main loop runs in the L1-Cache! ;-) And no, it doesn't have any…

  • richcigar: PLEASE! Use Gaston on your G5 and tell us what it says (no other programs running ofcourse!) when you use the "run benchmark" setting in the pulldown menues! fps and seconds to complete! Me and the author are most anxious to know!…

  • I would guess AE (and other Video apps) perform great on the G5! If in spite of all logic it should not, then it's definately entirely Adobe's fault! ;-) Cinebench is great in itself, but 3D rendering is by nature compute-intensive but not very b…

  • Quote: As someone else pointed out ... in most mainstream apps like photoshop, logic, blast, mathematica the G5 just creams anything on Intel. BLAST Gene Sequencing and Mathematica "mainstream Apps"? ;-) Oh puh-leeze!... Wolfram would be most ha…

  • Thanks Kupan for confirming my speculations about Maxon! ;-) However, some of the stuff he says is just not true, Lightwave IS definately faster on a G4 than a G3! See this LW-Benchmark of a G3-600: Textures : 16.8s ZBufSort : 28.7s DoF …

  • Quote: So if a single 1.6Ghz is the same speed as an Athlon 1.4, HOW THE HECK will a dual 2Ghz beat by 2x the dual 3.0Ghz Xeon??? Easy answer - it won't! Not in Cinema/Cinebench, not in this Version! Let me elaborate about Maxon and Cinema f…

  • Forget about Altivec Fractal Carbon!! It prolly has a few DSTs and DCBZs in its Altivec-Code! Better go with Gaston , it looks WAY better anyway and the guy just released a G5-Version a few hours ago especially for the chosen few that get thei…
