iMac G4 700mhz with 256mb Ram, 10.4.8
100k = 19.760
250k = 143.53
I'm sure it won't significantly affect this test but my god this thing needs more ram! :eek:
 
macbook pro i7 late 2011

2.8 GHz

100,000 - 2.330 , 2.250 , 2.230

250,000 - 14.600 , 14.100 , 14.250
 
I got 4 seconds for 100 000 on a 2.53GHz C2D with 4GB DR3 1066.

I definitely think that a better way to test performance is to use PowerFractal, which can saturate any number of CPUs, even clusters of 12-core Mac Pros.

Just run the app at 65536 colors and see how many megaflops you get. I got 17565.9 megaflops on the same system, it took 9.8 seconds.

Cool program!

On 16777216 (highest max count mode) 12 Mac Pro got 280.9 seconds achieving 41484.9 MegaFlops.

On 65536 mode I got 1.1 seconds achieving 150965.4 MegaFlops.

In piX on this machine I got these numbers:

100,000: 2.550 seconds
250,000: 16.580 seconds

I totally forgot about this thread after almost 5 years :D
