It's Benchmark Time for iMac owners ! *Updated with results*

[tsugaru]

OK, the time for my Mini is in, and I have to admit, it's much quicker than I expected.

Average FPS: 9.295321
Encode Time: 25 minutes, 36 seconds

Again, this is with a 1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo Mac Mini with 4GB of RAM.

I guess my hour was super conservative! Nicely done.

2010 12 core 2.66GHz Mac Pro:

work: average encoding speed for job is 74.434807 fps

Total time: 3 minutes 12 seconds (192 seconds)

It could only max out half the processors though

Assuming my calculations are correct...

iMac 21.5 (mid-2010) 3.06 GHz Core i3 4GB RAM

11 minutes and 6 seconds

[00:11:24] macgui: Rip: Pending queue count is 1
[00:22:30] work: average encoding speed for job is 21.570892 fps

If I'm honest I'm a little disappointed, thought it might have been a bit quicker, though this is based on my calculation which could very well be totally wrong altogether.

You have it right. You take your start time and your finish time and make the calculation from there. In my log below the times are 21:46:49 and further down 22:02:13

thanks for sharing!

Just noticed the OP asked for iMac times. I'll still contribute my Mac Mini time though, if for nothing else but my own use.

By all means! No problems having different Macs in here, if only to establish relative performance vs. the new SBs

thanks

 

[ChunkAhoy]

if anyone has one of the new 2011 iMacs, i'd be very interested to see the results of this test on it.

[imahawki]

Ditto, this would be the first thing I would do if I had bought one today. I can't decide when to buy and what to get and some benchmarks (i.e. how much faster is the BTO i7 27" than the base 27" etc.

 

[animefanotaku]

Going to start on this now.... give me a bit and i'll update

 

[imaginex20]

I have a 2011 13" MBP i5 with 8GB Ram and 128GB SSD, times are below:

[20:38:25] starting job
[20:50:57] macgui: incrementQueueItemDone there are no more pending encodes

So roughly 12 mins to encode the film.

 

[animefanotaku]

Ok, here it is for my 27" 2011 i7 with 4gigs of ram:

work: average encoding speed for job is 57.132076 fps

Time was 4 minutes 11 seconds. I did have some other apps open though

This is the 3.4Ghz i7?

Yes, it is the 3.4 i7 which is the 2600 chip.

Nice

 

[kevin2223]

Quite a good difference (over a minute/~25%) between last year's 2.93 and this year's 3.4 i7, but it would be nice to get some more samples/an average.

How does the current top-end iMac compare to a 3.33GHz 6-core Mac Pro (which would easily cost nearly twice as much)?

From the MBP thread on the same topic:

You have your FPS. You will then need to calculate your total encode time.

My 2007 iMac 24/2.4GHz has run this encode in 15 minutes flat.

How come my time is 15 min 30 seconds (i.e. slower) but my average fps is higher at 15.44?

Should of gone for the 3.4!!

Hi
my 2007 iMac (2.40GHz) is supposed to be slower than your computer. I looked at your log and I am no hb log expert but it looks like you do not have the same settings as I.
For example:

ME:
Duration: 00:09:56.45, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 8761 kb/s

You:
Duration: 00:09:56.45, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 12455 kb/s

Seems you encoded at a much higher bitrate. Could you check your settings, thanks

p.s. Why is my pending queue 0 not 1 ?

 

[ezekielrage_99]

Ok, you've all tempted me to update my old 2006 iMac... It's currently cranking out 7-10FPS on Handbrake

Looks like I'll be gettting a 27" i7 come Lion release...
