Establishing Standard Benchmarks? - Page 4

How about the distributed.net client? Pure CPU #'s but it's something I always run against any new machines I get.

does anyone have a single downloadable benchmark they can link me to and we can compare machines? I'd like to see how I stack against different machines used here.

any new benchmarks with the mid 2010 mac pros that were just released?

Since Consumers are gamers there should be 1 or 2 Gaming benches. There isnt anything that stresses a system like a game of Doom3 or what have you. Gaming benches are very important, stuff like opening apps is on the verge of silliness with todays hardware. A suite of 4 or 5 benches that can be put on every new Mac. Apple iam convinced doesnt want comparisons made between models otherwise they would provide a suite of benches.

To do a fare benchmark then you need decent compilers to build the bench programs. GCC not up to that level. That a performance for processor benchmark.

Applications that depend on the AltiVec engine, such as video and audio compression continues to slow Rosetta ..

Altivec applications that depend on and are universal binaries or native (built for Intel) will be just as fast if not faster than the iMac G5, and in some cases damn near close to my dual G5.

It's been quite some time since I have been around.

but applications like blender will scale no matter the computer (Operating system). The more complex you make the render the better the CPUs scale.

Yes many consumers are gamers now but what games?

There needs to be a universal script that does a CPU, GPU, RAM and HDD test in the one script. It also needs to be so complex that the sandy bridge CPU doesn't do it in 0.3 of a second making comparison between many types of CPU difficult.

I think over this year, this will be very important to have especially when the new intel macs come out.

Well the Benchmarks tests are now in for the new Macbook pro!! And lots of hardware spects.

Lots of information about the new Macbook pro!!

A good graphics/gaming benchmark is Unigine's Heaven:

so long as the basic functions are they i'll go for it!!!

I agree that a one-for-all benchmark is not feasible. For instance, I do not use my Mac pro (or any other machine for that matter) for gaming, in stead I could use a aperture-specific benchmark. 'Nuff said 'bout that though.

The main point for my comment is to ask, whether someone could compile a guide to all freely available benchmarks so that people would be able to catch the wisdoms from this thread without having to read through the entire text.

RGDS,

This is a great idea! I've wondered why it doesn't already exist.

As a guy who primarily uses Adobe After Effects / Premiere, I would love to see some type of results for them included.
