#Macpar deluxe pro
The Merom 2.2 Macbook Pro is an improvement but still far hotter, louder and short-batteried compared to the PowerPC. The Yonah fans sound distinctly like one of those unarmored Humvees with its muffler blown off. If anything I'd assume the reverse is true, and certainlly it is anyway because AFAIK there's no 45nm Cell (let alone 32nm as claimed). I have no idea why Cell would run COOLER.
#Macpar deluxe ps3
Geez, the PS3 version is only now hitting 65nm. It's great for specific things, but would be terrible for a computer (and is very questionable for a game system for that matter.)Īs far as I know, Intel is a who process ahead of anything Cell is produced on. It gets destroyed by Netburst architecture, let alone Intel's modern CPUs. There's so much wrong with this post I don't know where to start, and someone else can do a far better job explaining why, but off the top of my head:Ĭell is a TERRIBLE general purpose CPU. Is this some kind of joke? If so, I don't get it. Only those who wish to use their Yonahs to fry eggs prefer Intel. Clearly the Cell processor is superior both in performance and battery life. It is disingenuous to compare these Intel egg fryers with a single core PowerPC with a 133MHz FSB. The author claims Apple picked the right CPU partner in Intel, yet these Intel CPUs could not come close to matching a 32nm Quad Core IBM Cell processor with 2000 MHz FSB. Presumably that should have said help the Macbook, as the Pro doesn't use integrated video, and has already had a GPU that accelerates Blu Ray playback for most of a year. Wolfpup - Monday, Malink The review says Intel's upcoming video would help the Macbook Pro with Blu Ray playback.Overall, the performance differential ends up being a wash - there are some cases where Penryn is faster at lower clock speeds, while others where Merom manages a win - much as we expected. It looks like Quicktime isn't optimized for SSE4 yet as Penryn offers no advantage over Merom. All we're doing here is taking a 500MB MPEG-2 avi file and encoding it using Apple's H.264 codec and Quicktime's default settings: Photoshop performance is nearly identical between the 2.5GHz Penryn and 2.6GHz Merom systems.įinally we have our Quicktime H.264 encode test. We're just timing how long it takes to complete a handful of operations on an image in Photoshop: Our CS3 benchmark is the standard Retouch Artists test that we use in our CPU reviews. Once more the slightly lower clocked Penryn MacBook Pro manages close to a 5% lead over the 2.6GHz Merom system.
#Macpar deluxe archive
Using MacPAR Deluxe we took an 800MB archive and deleted 5% of it, forcing MacPAR to read the archive, calculate and write the missing bits, then extract the whole archive: File Decompression, Photoshop and Quicktime Performance
