How do you look this stuff up?

Adidas Addict · Oct 24, 2010

I just ran this Xbench out of interest on my 24" Alu iMac (2.4 C2D, 4GB Ram, Radion HD2600, 320GB 5400rpm HDD)

It scored 156.53 😱

Your macbook air benches higher than my iMac 😀

Download this http://www.xbench.com/Xbench_1.3.dmg (quit all applications before running it). Only takes 2-3 mins

I have been looking up scores online and the top score is pretty high for such a skinny small mac.

Very nice general values and particularly the disk scores are stunning 🙂

I tested out the 13" 1.86 at apple store with geekbenches between 2600-2700.

I've ran 6 tests and the score varies up and down 10 to 15 points.

where did you get 10.6.5?

How much did you pay for that monster?

roughly $3300, got a free iPod touch with it. (macs are more expensive in my country, but we get 2 year warranty, by law)

I don't use iChat, so no clue... And I'm not aware of any graphics improvements? They probably ship new drivers, as usual... I hear they have higher performance again - but that was to expected... I don't think it will take long now until they release it 😉

To be honest I think iChat is deprecated. They have released FaceTime as a beta as a standalone application...

the facetime app, its just weird, whats the point when we have ichat?.....

I was wanting to OC my gfx, but i'd like to see the improvements in 10.6.5 before doing so - and yes, someone made a cli tool to do it in os x 😀 although its still very experimental

The way I understood it 10.6.3 broke gfx and 10.6.4 fixed it again... There isn't too much to be expected of 10.6.5 in that regard I believe...

mulo said:

Well that's why I think iChat is deprecated... Also I didn't see iChat on the 10.7 sneak peek in the dock at all.. It was FaceTime all the way..

I would like to see a MBA 11 test scores.
