Right, I'm interested on seeing other peoples Macintel boxes specs and Xbench scores.

This could also help everyone so they get a rough idea of how well their system will handle OS X86 (If at all).

You can download Xbench 1.2 here. This is a universal binary so it'll work on both real macs and macintels.

Make sure you save the results as a text file (Plain Text) and attach them to your post.

I'll start!

Spec:

Intel P4 1.8ghz SSE2
Intel 845 chipset
768mb SDR ram
Nvidia Vanta 16mb AGP VESA 3.0
20gb Ibm ATA100 hdd

My Score was 10.33:

Dell Inspiron 1100
512 MB RAM
40 GB HD (2 Partitions, 1 for OSx86 system and another for files )
64 MB Intel 845G

I almost caught up with sam0r

whoa...my disk speeds are at like 1mb/s...why so slow??

it will be interesting to see some high end desktops considerind my laptop decimated the first 2 results. specs are as follows:

dell inspiron 5150
mobile p4 2.8 HT
768 MB RAM
60 GB HD (6 gigs dedicated to OSX)
nvidia geforce fx goforce 5200 (64 MB memory - not that this matters without drivers....)

final score: 27.53

what about somebody with a real powerbook (say a 1.5 g4)? i would be very interested to see those results.

Further proof that Xbench is a completely useless metric.

I was at an apple store today, near where I live.

I did an Xbench of the new mini mac's that were there.

Check these results out.

Just for a laugh:

Specs

PowerMac 7500 G3/500
Rage 128 Pro
Onboard SCSI
Mac OS X 10.3.9

Score: 5.62



I don't know about Xbench being a "useless metric" but I can say that this score truely reflects how much OS X sucks on this Old World Mac.

LOL. My G3/500imac got a little over 9....ssllooww . But the funny thing is I used it more than my brand new PC running windows. The PC was a nintendo until osx86!

At least you can play games on a nintendo

I'll post a xbench of my 266mhz iMac oc'd to 300mhz later

I agree. The G5 is quite faster than the Dell. The score should be well into the 100's. Just look at the CPU score for the G5.

Athlon64 3200+
1 GB PC3200 RAM 2.5-3-3-8
80 GB IDE U100

that's the relevant info, I guess.

32MB Vram (190.13Mhz), overclocked to 210.38Mhz (Using ATIccelerator II)

44.60 - Using ATIccelerator II - 5 test average
42.39 - No Video Acceleration - 5 test average


edit: spelling

Yep, when I want to play game, or just to dabble around with spy/adware I just boot into Wintendows. Whats really sad is your screaming fast OC'd 266mhz is probably more useful than Windows on my new PC/Mac!

Here's a question for everyone... my xbench scores beat a mac mini by around 25points. But, my cpu scores were lower than the mini because of this test -> vecLib FFT. The mac mini had a score of 82.90 (2.73 Gflop/sec), and my score was 13.77 (454.22 Mflop/sec). They are two very different chips, but what causes the difference in the numbers, whats that benchmarks relevance to speed, and if it is relevant.. is there something driver wise slowing it down?

Edit: forgot.. my proc=AMD3000/2.31Ghz Vs. MacMini proc= G4/1.42Ghz.

Could quite possibly be due to the lack of altivec and the SSE2 patch...

I wonder where I rank. I always wonder how this compares to a system with functioning core graphics and quartz extreme.

Personally, I'm clueless as to how its running any Quartz tests when profiler makes mention of the lacking of such. But that's another thread, and another topic.

LOL. What a piece of crap. 16.28 was the average. Oy... OS X is crappy-hardware friendly then. It runs great.

I might make a php page to store all this info, and get rankings etc.

How does this relate? and does the video situation impact it?

Results 30.87

Now this is weird. I would've thought TPS would have the ideal kit for osx86. His score is 39.93.

How does ZX81 get a 48.15 with almost half the cpu speed?



I ran Xbench twice on a Mac Mini 1.4x at the Apple store last night and both times got 47.xx. Those Minis are perky little boxes and I would cobble together an x86 box if I thought it would be comparable.

Maybe this question belongs in its own thread but are there advantages in 64-bit and/or Hyper-threading with osx86?
