Awaiting Dual 2Ghz G5 Cinebench Results and About G5 Bus Slewing
I’ve seen some dual 2Ghz G5 Cinebench 2003 benchmarks at a couple of places, but I have not seen a complete data set, meaning I’d like to get data on each of the Cinebench sub-tests as well as the official benchmarks. When I do and am sure the data is valid, I’ll update the shootout section and look for Cinebench numbers on an AMD chip that yields the closest performance. I will also update that section if and when Cinebench gets its G5 optimizations.
I may have to wait until I can get my hands on a dual G5 since most folks only post the benchmarks. If you’re interested in only the latter, drop by Barefeats.com. They’ve got those benchmarks and several others that pit the dual G5 against other Apple and Intel powered systems. There is also a set of Cinebench benchmarks comparing a dual G5 to various other Macs at MacInTouch.
One interesting point concerning the G5 that is just now surfacing is about “bus slewing”. Depending upon the setting in OS X’s Energy Saver preference, the G5 manipulates its bus speed to control CPU temperature. Here’s a quote from Apple’s Developer Documentation explaining it: (Thanks to Xlr8yourmac.com for providing the link.)
