Haxial.com provides new benchmark tool

[Dr. Distortion]

http://www.haxial.com/products/benchmark/

With this app you can compare mac performance to PC performance! The results it gives are quite consistent after each run.

Give it a try, it's cool... on the haxial site you can find a small comparison table where you can compare your performance to various macs and pcs performances!

thats a cool little and it compares it ot other ones which is nice

hhmmm... another benchmark tool?

is it really worth having a look at? oh well, should be in interesting...

 

[Dr. Distortion]

Hahaha, my 400 mhz G3 scored higher than a P3 600 mhz!!! Must be because of the RISC architecture and 1 meg L2 cache

 

[cb911]

ok, guess i'll give it a try... this should be interesting.

Ok guys, here are the first results:

PowerMac G4 DP 1Ghz (Quicksilver) with 1024MB RAM:

(first test made on the machine)

Encrytion Test;

2:01
121,725 milliseconds
16.9M/sec

Verification Test;

2:24
141.257 milliseconds
56.8M/sec

Dont know if this test is MP aware... There is not much difference with the PowerBook G4 800Mhz.

 

[cb911]

i'll do the test as soon as i restart. but since i don't do that often, i might have to wait awhile... whoa!> uptime is 6 days 3 hours and 19 minutes! i might go for a whole week and restart on Saturday night.

another bencmark

whilst i don't want ot hurt your feelings in any way but ....

I have a feeling that you guys aren't shunning this benchmark because it favours the mac. You have to ask, on what system was it compiled for each platform. On what platform was the code written. Which platfrom optimisations are used.

If all of these are the latest available for each platfrom then let the test roll on. Mail bomb Apple to let them know, and the whole world - "We have an un-biased benchmark that shows who is the best"

 

[Dr. Distortion]

then why don't you email the haxial Benchmark developer about it: support@haxial.com or spl@haxial.com

8.3M/sec

verification test results:
6:50
410,578 msec
19.9M/sec

 

[Dr. Distortion]

and here's another result for a Dell P4 1.7 ghz/256 mb ram

encryption test results:
3:39
219,047 msec
9.3M/sec

verification test results:
6:05

and yet another peecee benched... Dual Xeon 1.5 ghz with 1 gig RDRAM:

encryption test results:
4:07
247,688 msec
8.2M/sec

verification test results:
6:57
417,000 msec
19.6M/sec

 

[benixau]

excellent

let the results come, I have emailed them and await a reply

we shall see

by the way, if all else fails i will tell my buddies that it was recopmiled on each machine. How the heck will they know.

 

[Dr. Distortion]

In the future more sub-benchmarks will be added, so results should improve when a new version of Haxial Benchmark is released.
