I'm proposing everyone perform the Photoshop test (radial blur test in hardware forum), list hardware specs and let's see what speeds we get.

I posted in the other forum already - but I got a time of 49.02 seconds in the render test with the iMac in my sig - I expected much lower performance, considering Photoshop CS is PowerPC binary - are others getting this great of performance?

I would really like to see a comparison to a 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4.

Click to expand...

Powerbook G4 1.5GHz, 1.5GB RAM, 128MB VRAM (on power adapter, processor speed highest): 2 min, 10.03 sec.

Note also that the G4 was pegged at 100% CPU use during this test. I assume that the Core Duo iMac was only using one of the two cores to get the 49.3 sec result.

C'mon - let's see some results. My results were much better than I had thought they'd be...
