can someone xbench an 800 MHz ibook for us?

is everyone else running at their highest color/resolution???? I just restarted and set my color to thousands and here are the results:

does anyone know why the ram from a
667 tibook would perform less than the
ram in a 1gig tibook ?

Possible processor throughput is higher getting data to the RAM more efficiently? *shrugs*

One thing...does XBench take advantage of dual CPU's?
Click to expand...

It does...in the thread tests.

Did you notice the Memory Contention against AssassinOfGates dual 867?

383.91 MB/sec for dual 867 MHz
280.19 MB/sec for dual 1 GHz
234.52 MB/sec for dual 800 MHz (mine)

Notice how the memory controllers have improved?

Here are results from my 2 year old Dual 450Mhz G4. Seems to be on par with around an 800Mhz G3 setup and around hals as fast as a Dual 1Ghz. All the results seem to tell a consistent story.

Here is another one. Now I am really confused. A single processor 266Mhz G3 scored only slightly less on overall score than a dual 450 Mhz G4, even though individual tests produced scores roughly half....Wierd..

if you look at your results, you'll see that the only scores above 60 (your average) were the disk tests, and those are out of line.

could you post your entire XBench results so we can compare just the memory test to others (i.e. demonx, lmalave)?

the whole result, please, for those of us keeping score at home :)

thanks
 
My old clone runs Jag just fine! well...

Just thought I'd submit this for fun:

This is my PowerComputing PowerWave running a Powerlogix G3/400/1MB upgrade. (more info at http://jonsharp.net/mac.html) I am planning on getting a new iBook 800 in a few weeks, so this thread has been helpful. Of course, I'd love a PowerBook, but I think the iBook suits me and my budget much better. Have fun looking at this benchmark. I'll have something better soon!

These results, as you will find out at the Xbench home page, are standardized against a 800Mhz DP QS Mac. It has a ton of ram and disk space too.

This machine scores 100 in all tests. That is how you can determine how your machine compares to everyone elses.

A hint, i quit finder as well as every other app before i ran mine, i think it made my results worse, see for your self though
