walterav Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) I have the following problem, slow CPU performance. Laptop: Clevo m570u 2,13ghz coreduo 2gb ram atix1600 512mbvram realtekaudio. ich7-m I upgraded from 1044>1048 with the apple combo1048, than replaced mach_kernel, with semthex beta 8sse3, replaced the loginwindow, deleted IOPCCARDFAMILIY otherwise it won't boot than i changed applesmbios to the photoshop-one, all is fine all is booting all seems snappy, it detects 2 cpu's it detects my audio with the azalia patch it detects my x1600 it detects my battery with the POWERBUNDLE addon "i didnt had to remove applecpupowermanagment.kext but i also tried that" It Boots fast but than the performance. RAW file conversion benchmarks: p4winXP=185sec P4osx1048=140sec "lol osx is faster while it emulates sse3 using semthex S5!!!" Clevolaptopwindows=90sec Clevolaptoposx1048=280sec???<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<? MACpro3ghz=15sec "yes you read it 15 seconds..." How can it be so slow? Any thoughts appleSMBIOS, the kernel, acpi don't know what to do anymore? btw 1044 is also slow Edited December 28, 2006 by walterav Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36865-old-p4-twice-as-fast-than-my-coreduo-213-laptop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterav Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Anyone with a Coreduo laptop processor that has run benchmarks? Not Xbench, because its not giving true results... Any power user? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36865-old-p4-twice-as-fast-than-my-coreduo-213-laptop/#findComment-262398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Photoshop is still an old PPC app so it is running in emulation on an Intel machine. This will make it slow. Adobe issued a beta Photoshop in the past week or so. Find that or wait until the release.

walterav Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 i'm not using photoshop, i'm doing some speed tests with the a intel binary raw converter which is converting 39megapixel raw files to tiff files. But this program is slower on the coreduo than the P4 which emulates sse3 with semthex S5. -------Maybe its a kernel issue because semthex b8 sse3 gives the same speed as semthex b9 sse2.-------- --------during boot all kernels report SSE-SSE2 opcodes?--------- I read a lot of stories of laptops working with coreduo's both cores recognized "mine to" but the benchmarks are really to slow... I tried mifki but i can't get it to boot... it don't get passed the blue loginwindow with a mousecursor. No one else with slow benchmarks? xbench not getting higher than 60 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36865-old-p4-twice-as-fast-than-my-coreduo-213-laptop/#findComment-262695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
helios Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Can only tell you that my xbench is 63 on a simple 1.6GHz pentium m... so something is really wrong there..

walterav Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 LOL well i can cry.... after a week of getting my x1600mob running with atinject and finnaly got it running with internal and external monitor "thanks THEMAXX32000" I noticed it was the cpu performance thats holding me down... right know i can think of a couple of explonations: reasons: 1------- bad powermanagment of the clevo bios itself "Already the newest version" or options like GV3 Enhanced C-states etc 2------- I'm not ablo to disable minipci 3------- Not able to disable any ACPI bios features at all in the clevo 4------- integrated bluetooth2.0usb, integrated WEBCAM, integrated minipciexpess wifi "gonna pull them out tom..." 5------- old 1044 kexts that might bug the upgraded 1048 install 6------- Not for sure so don't wanna bug semthex, but the sse2 kernel of semthex is exactly as fast as the sse3 versions So tom i'll do my last try, if have been playing around with disabling processor powermamangment in the BIOS an noticed strange behaviour under windows... when CPU powermanagment is off "all options Gv3 c-states etc"... windows is SLOW AS HELL "strange enough it is as slow as the OSX behaves during the benchmarks..." when enableing GV3 state.... windows has the normal FAST speed when enableing C states only..... windows is also SLOW AS HELL when enabling BOth GV3 with enhanced C states "so all powermanagment stuff" windows is FAST windows was set all the time to "always on" so no powersaving was enabled... strange results are they? is would suspect that powermanagment was off, te cpu would always run FAST Tom.. today I'll do my last effort with the GV3 option in bios...

walterav Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Well i found the problem... Whatever I set in the bios, the laptop will always go into some powersaving option, except when windows is set to "always on" strangely enough this is trigured by enabling or disabling the onboard webcam/bt2.0 If i don't change these settings "webcam/bt2.0" no matter how much i reboot or turn of, windows will always run in powersaving mode 997mhz, so I have to flag the webcam and the bt2.0 and than windows shows 2,13ghz!!! and runs more than twice as fast. In my situation OSX is always running at 997mhz because i benchmarked again: and compared to windows the times were exactly double... so 1 minute for conversion in windows and 2minutes for conversion on OSX the same as windows with 997 mhz/battery. It must be a bios issue, because when all powermanagment is off in the bios the bios reports 2,13ghz >>> windows reports 2,13 but windows runs at 997 so thats the reason why OSX is running slow.
