Holy friggin crap. Under Rosetta, that is absolutely blazing fast. Those Intels really can crunch.

Photoshop Elements 4

Uptime 10 days, and I have Itunes, firefox, adium, word, excel, and a couple of other programs loaded, but not doing anything with them during the test.

I will run it again after a fresh reboot, whenever that is.

I just got an odd set of results, I say they are odd because of looking at all the intel iMac results.

Macbook Pro
Photoshop CS2
2.16GHz
7200rpm
2 GB

The orginal test (with the horse) took 56 seconds. Did it 2 times. I am suprised it didn't at least match a 2.0 iMac.

Its not that big od a deal, lets face it when the universal binaries come out this thing is gonna kick ass.

It being emulated so i'm not shocked at all, also the intel iMac was using CS1, you were running Cs2

AH! Ya know I missed the CS1 part of it :p Ya, I know about the emulation, which is why I can't imagine what the result will be with the universal binaries.

It sucks that when CS3 comes out I will need to pay out of pocket for it. My copy of CS2 was bought by a previous company I worked at. Its registered in their name, and they let me keep it. However, they told me I am not allowed to upgrade it.

I am a coder who plays in Photoshop. Still learning, but I can get around at least.

I have an original LC running System 6 and Photoshop 1.0, but Photoshop 1.0 didn't have Radial Blur as a stock filter. And I don't have the necessary scratch disk space on that box, either

The original image of the horse is no longer aviiable at the link in the first post. Does anyone have a copy saved? I wanted to test my powerbook again. I have upgraded the ram and I was curious how I would score now. Thanks!

Here it is:

I tried it in my Windows XP partition with CS2 (tryout) and it did it in 43 seconds. That's 4 seconds faster than on OS X with CS(1) under rosetta.
