Power Mac 1.25GHz MP versus others (Page 3) Added page THREE on 9/26/02 with FileMaker 6, Bryce 5, Cinema 4D, and "crunch + copy" tests. robART morgan, mad scientest   Bryce and FileMaker Pro do NOT take advantage of the G4 Velocity Engine or Dual Processorss.       Cinema 4D is interesting. It is aware of dual G4's but doesn't use AltiVec code... at least in my test.       The next two graphs show the effect on each computer when a network transfer is taking place simultaneous to the running of an application: Note in the Cinema 4D graph above, the DDR 1GHz G4 beats the SDR 1GHz G4 by 22%. The 1.25GHz G4 beats the SDR by 76%! Note in Quake3 graph above, the DDR 1GHz G4 beats the SDR 1GHz G4 by 19%. The 1.25GHz G4 beats the SDR by 35%. So the DDR Macs prove to have better throughput when multiple subsystems are involved (such as Disk + Network + Graphics + CPU)     (SEE PAGE 2 FOR Quake3 and UT RESULTS) (SEE PAGE 1 FOR Photoshop, iMovie, iTunes, and CONCLUSION)		Search this site powered by FreeFind HOME PAGE SPEED TEST RESULTS by Category LINKS to SPEED tests on other sites HOT DEALS on speed upgrades rob-ART morgan, mad scientist and webmaster     Has Bare Feats helped you?
