NASA Benchmarks the New G5 Powermac

Posted by michael on from the measuring-up dept.

sockit2me9000 writes "Well NASA's Langley Research Center recently benchmarked the new G5 dual 2ghz Powermac against a dual 1ghz Xserve, a dual 1.25 ghz Powermac, a Pentium4 2 ghz, and a Pentium4 2.66 ghz. To make things fair, the second processor in the G5 was switched off, as well as the other dual sysytems. Then, they all ran Jet3d. Even with un-optimized code and one processor, the G5 performance is impressive."

    Why not 8 or 9? Certainly there must be some performance increases in 8 or 9!

    Either way, RedHat still won.. 255 to 254, YEAH!!!!
