Apple messes about with benchmarktest G5
Its speeds claim to build ups and downs Jobs by the presentation on Monday on comparative investigation of VeriTest. For the execution of this benchmarktests, VeriTest compared the Power Mac G5 with two Dells (n with a 3 GHz Pentium 4-processor and n with two Xeon-processors of 3.06 GHz).
In three of the four most important benchmarktests came the Power Mac G5 according to VeriTest as best to in front. Martin Reynolds, analyst by Gartner, names the test opposite CNet however 'not really honestly'.
According to Reynolds, the tests were not exported under optimal circumstances for the Dells. Through use to make of Intel- and Microsoft-compilers instead of a Linux-system and the GCC-compiler will the results for the Dell-computers better outbursts, means also Godfather Glaskowsky, editor in chief of micro processor Report.
In a reaction, Apple defends the chosen investigation method. That by the two Dells and the Apple G5 the same compiler became uses, is just honest, means the computer manufacturer. It goes after all a comparison of the hardware.
Also in someone else test does the G5 it according to Apple otherwise better then the two Dells. By a comparison of various software packages (as Adobe Photoshop) pale the G5 clear away two turn so fast to be as the Dell with two 3.06 GHz processors.
