#QUAD CORE MAC NOVABENCH SCORES SERIAL#
Newer CPUs will tend to win two kinds of contests: purely CPU-bound serial processes, and RAM latency. I can buy a used Mac Pro off craigslist, buy some third-party upgrades, and have a faster computer (in general) than a new Macbook Pro, for less money. Being an expandable workstation, for any particular workload, it’s easy to expand it to handle that. Or if it needs to use a lot of disk (more disks). If the program uses GCD and/or OpenCL, the Mac Pro will look even better (more cores, more and better graphics cards). For example, if you need to do some CPU-bound processing of 10 MB of data (smaller than the Mac Pro’s 元 size, but larger than the Macbook Pro’s), the Mac Pro is going to win. Whether it’s true depends entirely on what you’re doing.īenchmarks tend to test burst speed of small things, which may or may not be at all relevant. That’s a loaded statement that deserves a huge case of “IF”. “The new top of the line MacBook Pro 2011 is faster than the existing Mac Pro desktop” We’ll post more benchmarks as they come in.
#QUAD CORE MAC NOVABENCH SCORES UPDATE#
If you’ve been holding out for a MacBook Pro upgrade for some crazily fast performance, this just may be the update for you. In other words, all the talk about Intels SandyBridge chips being blazing fast is true. The new MacBook Pros truly are portable workstations. In fact, if you look at our Mac Benchmark charts, you’ll see that the fastest MacBook Pro is faster than a lot of Mac Pros (including the current generation of Mac Pros). The slowest MacBook Pro performs on par with the fastest previous-generation MacBook Pro, and the fastest MacBook Pro is 80% faster than the fastest previous-generation MacBook Pro. The performance of the new MacBook Pros is amazing. MacRumors quotes PrimateLabs (their site is currently down) with the following: The tests were found by MacRumors and 9to5Mac. Notice that these tests do not use the GPU, so we’re still waiting to see real-world benchmarks of how the refreshed MacBook Pro stacks up against their predecessors in things like gaming and rendering. These benchmarking tests focus on CPU and memory performance, and show that select new MacBook Pro models are about 3x faster than some of last years models.
