Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the change-from-the-inside-out dept.

DigitalDame2 writes to tell us Gearlog is reporting that Apple has joined up with Windows benchmarking consortium BAPCo as a full blown member. From the article: "This is significant because it means that Apple has now committed to Windows-based performance testing, and it will influence industry-standard testing methodologies going forward, possibly including Mac OS X testing."

    X86 had to improve drastically before Apple switched to it.

    Firstly, x86 is still shit and always will be; the design was bad from the start. Secondly, the least shitty x86's are AMD but Apple chose Intel instead.
