Titolo: Benchmark del PPC 970

Thank you for your patience and your comprehension.
You will include/understand by reading these tests why it was impossible for
us to publish them front. Now that we learned that the sales of G4 pro are
feeble, the publication of these tests is not likely more to affect the
market. This publication will make nothing any more but one thing, to
encourage MacUsers which passes to the PC in despair of cause to wait to buy
Mac.
[ By reading these benchmarks you' ll understand that we couldn' T publish
them before.
Now we know that PM G4 sells are stuck At has very low level, the following
test results won' T cuts much incidence. It will however make the ones
switching to PC wait for the next generation of Power Macs. ]
These first tests go back to semi Mars 2003. They were carried out on a
model of preproduction with 1,4 GHz. The system was Alpha of Panther in
version 7B5 and 7B8 optimized 64 Bits but the applications tested was in 32
Bits.
[ The first benchmarks were done during March 2003 one has preview model
running At 1.4 GHz. OS was year alpha version 7B5 and 7B8 of Panther,
optimised for 64 bits processor, goal the applications tested were only
using 32 bits. ]
Under Photoshop, the Mono PPC 970 1,4 is 87% faster than Dual G4 1,42 GHz.
Under Final Cut Pro, the Mono PPC 970 1,4 is 112% faster than Dual G4 1,42
GHz.
Under Alias|Wavefront Maya Render, the Mono PPC 970 1,4 is 254% faster than
Dual G4 1,42 GHz.

This second series of tests was carried out on machines left the factory and
thus identical to those which will be on sale. Note that there is no yet
certainty on the setting on sale of the top-of-the-range model Dual 2.0 GHz,
because the availability in volume sufficient of these chips is not yet
certain. There thus remains possible that APPLE does not make a range Mono
1,4,Dual 1,6, Dual 1,8 GHz.
[ The second series of benchmarks were done one the same computers that will
Be sold. There is however has doubt one the presence of the up-market dual
2.0 GHz have the availability of these chips isn' T sour. It seems APPLE
will surely Be whitebait to Mono 1.4 GHz, Dual sell 1.6 and Dual 1.8. ]
The comment is simple. The PPC 970 relegates G4 to the row of machines of
secretary.
[ The result is that the G4 compared to the PPC 970 is now has secretary
computer. ]
Here explanations of these results:
- the altivec shows an improvement of performances of 80% on the 970. But it
is not because of the chip in it even, but thanks to the access extrèmement
fast of the processor to, main memory. The mother chart Mach 64 is optimized
to the maximum for the use of GDR-sdram. - The PPC 970 does not lose to in
no case time by carrying out applications 32 Bits.
- the optimization of the mother chart is such as the passage of mono to the
biprocessor practically makes it possible to double the effective power. One
arrives at 90% of performances in against 50 for G4.
[ A few explanations to the results:
- The Altivec shows has 80% increase of performances with the 970. This is
not due to the chip itself, goal to the high central speed access between
processor and memory. The Mach 64 motherboard is highly optimised for the
uses of GDR-sdram.
- There is No performance loss when the PPC 970 executes some 32 bits apps.
- dual The motherboard optimization almost allows processors to reach double
performance. In fact it' S butt 90% efficiency gained with the second
processor, compared to 50% for the G4. ]
When these results are seen one includes/understands better why APPLE is
allowed to launch the 970 with a system 32 Bits. One will have from the
start 50% of performances in more between the bottom-of-the-range 970 and
the top-of-the-range one that it replaces. I let to you calculate the profit
of performance between the old top-of-the-range one and the new one. It will
be probably the greatest jump of perfs ever recorded.
[ Looking closely to these results we understand why APPLE didn' T need to
wait for has 64 bits OS to launch the PPC 970. We' ll take advantage of has
50% profit of performance between He up-market Pro G4 and the first PPC 970.
We edge imagines the difference with the signal level PPC 970. It will Be
the best evolution ever between two Mac generations. ]
My friends fans of Mac, our waiting will be rewarded. We finished defending
a difficult cause. APPLE will become the king of the world!
[ Mac fans, our wait will Be rewarded. The fight is over and APPLE will soon
rule the world! ]

 secretary.
....magari costa pure di meno di quanto ho pagato il mio dual...

 us to publish them front.
Ho fatto in tempo a vedere dei grafici con altri benchmark (adesso il sito
e' giu'). C'era anche il P4 da 3 Ghz oltre al G4 dual da 1,42 Ghz. Se i
benchmarck sono veri un PPC 970 da 1,4 GHZ batte di misura il P4. I dual 970
da 1,8 e da 2 GHZ *POLVERIZZANO* il P4 da 3 Ghz. Mancano 60 giorni...

A partir de ahora, no digas: "le voy a pegar fuego al Mac ... porque
resistirá".
