The scores aren't that high but they can be directly attributed to the lack of Altivec.

So this was on a Pentium P4 530, 3.0 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 1 MB cache? http://www.3dvelocity.com/reviews/dellgx280/gx280.htm

So Xbench has been released as a Univerisal binary? How convenient.

The scores aren't that high but they can be directly attributed to the lack of Altivec.

Yes, the overall Xbench composite result should perhaps be totally ignored here and individual test results considered when fairly applicable to both x86 and PPC.

For what it is worth, and frankly that should not be much, here are the results I just got on my PowerMac G5 for comparison:

This was with a 3.2Ghz P4

Xbench 1.2 is now available as a Universal Binary as of 7/30/05 - http://www.xbench.com/

Same system that you have linked to.

The 100 point scale with Xbench 1.2 has been re-calibrated to the dual 2.0 G5 that was just listed.

Intel Mac Benchmarks

Individuals attending Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference have submitted Xbench benchmark results from Apple's Pentium 4-based Power Mac systems. The benchmarks do not reflect native performance of the 3.6GHz systems, however, but rather provide an indication of how PowerPC-compiled applications will run under Rosetta on Intel-based systems.

Rosetta is the name of Apple's technology that seamlessly converts PowerPC code to Intel code on the fly. It is designed so that applications that are not available as universal binaries for both PowerPC and Intel systems can still run on Apple's Intel Macs. During the WWDC keynote, Apple CEO Steve Jobs demonstrated several PowerPC applications running with Rosetta, including Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop. Very fast systems, Jobs said, will be able to take advantage of Rosetta without the user even noticing.

Preliminary benchmarks suggest otherwise, but questions still remain about benchmarking Rosetta. One developer wonders how the Intel Mac would score when running Xbench a second time, since Rosetta caches translated binaries in real time, and could presumably benefit from the cache upon an additional run. In addition, Apple's developer docs say Rosetta isn't tuned to apps that have "intense" computing needs, though it says software with moderate user interaction and "some high computational needs" are in most cases compatible.

Overall, the Intel Mac are scoring between 65 and 70 with Xbench, a far cry from the 200+ scores higher-end G5 systems reach. The CPU test is landing in the high teens compared with scores of 100 to 200 for G5 systems, but that appears to be primarily due to lackluster FPU scores. According to a recent Macworld story, Rosetta does not support AltiVec instructions, which substanties the results. The GCD Loop score for the Intel Mac, part of the CPU test, is a respectable 110, compared to dual-2.5GHz G5 Macs that score about 140.

The Intel Mac performed substantially less well than the dual-2.5GHz G5 at Thread test, scoring an 82 compared to 225. In the Computation Thread test the Intel Mac scored a respectable 110 compared to 155 in the G5, but the G5 blew the doors of the Intel Mac in the Lock Contention test, scoring a 420 to the Intel Mac's 66.

The Memory Test tells a similar story: overall the Intel Mac scored a 214 to the G5's 378, but the Intel Mac actually exceeded the G5's Stream Memory Test: 351 to 319. The G5 trounces the Intel Mac at the system memory test, however, scoring a 464 while the Intel Mac musters a 154.

The Intel Mac scored a 125 on the Interface Test, compared to a 380 for the G5.

The Intel Mac scored well in both the Quartz graphics and OpenGL graphics tests—almost matching or exceeding dual-2.5GHz G5 score—although it's unknown which video card is powering the system. There has been some speculation that Apple's emracement of Intel processors will also allow the company to take advantage of off-the-shelf PC video cards. In addition, Mac Rumors notes that "system tools calls/APIs should enjoy native (not emulated) speeds."

The Intel Macs are running Mac OS X 10.4.1 8B1025.

XBench is native for 1.2 version, so it has nothing to do with Rosetta anymore, it just doesn't accurately measure x86 stuff yet because it's just running PPC designed tests in a way that x86 can understand, which I'm sure doesn't make it look good.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's Rosetta you're describing. xbench 1.2 is compiled natively for x86. It's clear that there are some tests that the G5 is better at, notably veclib FFT (which throws the overall cpu score since the x86 is not capable) and floating point operations (again, expected).

Have a look here for the best posted xbench score.

Just ran a baseline mac mini -1.25GHz G4- through Xbench, came up at 36.40 final results score (in case anyone was wondering how they'd compare against the more "price compatable" mac that's out there )

Dont know if thats a good score but there ya go! it looks like and feels like my hardrive is having issues with Read/Write speeds is there a fix for that yet? if i can get that working and my Nvidia running fully Accelerated then i just might think of using OS X and not Windows HAHAHA maybe not.
