subxero Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I know there are varied opinions on this, but in a moment of geekines (boredom), I ran geekbench tests which in my opinion show the obvious (IMHO). I ran the 32-bit and 64-bit tests booting from the 32-bit and 64-bit kernels respectively. (-x32 / -x64 and checked status in Terminal before testing.) The scores are identical. Running the 64-bit test booting from the 32-bit kernel produced the same result as running it from booting in 64-bit mode. Same for 32-bit test. Obviously the 64-bit test shows a higher benchmark score with both kernels, but both kernels produce the same result for both tests. I also (i'm so bored) timed launch times of applications like Photoshop and Adobe Premier. Identical launch times booting from both kernels... and timed the same video project's processing times - you guessed it - identical! Am I missing something (seing as how most focus is on getting 64-bit running smooth (which it does - bar my inability to find a 64-bit Realtek Lan driver which works) , or are we all thinking of Apple 64-bit in a Windows 64-bit frame of mind? Don't flame me...I am just asking for opinions for enlightenment...(enlighten me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhai Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well, like is said elsewhere and probably soon a million time. The userland part is running in 64-bit regardless of the kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
