Performance Comparison Of Detection Schemes For Mac
'I only tried your product out this afternoon for the first time. I'm really impressed. I heard some buzz about it on versiontracker and some of the tech sites, but thought it was 'only' a bench mark utility. I had no idea until I downloaded it and watched it run that it was a tool for diagnosing specific problem areas in performance. I assumed that it would only output a single number - like an overall performance rating. Then to see that one can use it to compare to other user's systems: very comprehensive.'

- Perre Dicarlo The Only Bench You'll Ever Need Xbench was developed by Spiny Software to provide a comprehensive benchmarking solution for Mac OS X. Xbench is useful not only for comparing the relative speeds of two different Macintoshes, but also for optimizing performance on a single machine. Xbench is accompanied by a website that allows graphical side-by-side comparison of any out of thousands of. Xbench will become an invaluable part of your utilities toolkit.

1.3 2006-08-13. Corrected a mistake that caused the altivec test to be turned off on PowerPC machines.
Turned off coalesced graphics updates for all platforms on Mac OS 10.4.4 and higher. Switched compiler to GCC 4.0 on PowerPC. This provides some boost to floating point and AltiVec scores, and these have been recalibrated accordingly.
This also raises Xbench's system requirements to 10.3.9 or higher. Revised machine database to include the MacBook, Intel iMac and several other models.
L replacement 60w charger adapter with usb port for mac. But notably, it’s the device that determines the amount of power to draw, with the number on the charger itself just representing the maximum output.
Added code to dynamically load machine database on launch from the Xbench website. Added support for temporarily turning off beam sync on Tiger while running graphics tests. Fixed an issue that causes Xbench to fail to launch on Leopard. Built with Xcode 2.4. 1.1 2003-08-23.
Optimized for the PowerMac G5, compiled with GCC 3.3. Avoid use of vecdst on PowerPC 970 for better performance. Changes to the AltiVec test to reduce dependence on memory bandwidth. Removed use of vecdstt. Changes to floating point test. Added vecLib FFT test.
Added automatic machine type detection. Fixed an issue where the results submission sheet caused the results window to become catatonic. Prettier submit button. Recalibration of CPU tests, Disk tests.
Fixed spinning rainbow cursor during OpenGL test. 1.0 2003-01-27.
first non-beta release. added 'Model' detection. added CPU Version detection. made cache reporting more reliable on upgraded machines. made processor type detection more reliable on upgraded machines. corrected a crash while gathering cache information.
improved video card detection on a variety of machines. fixed detection of dual processors. fixed a problem causing the UI test to display progressively lower results each time it was run. added progress sheet for results submission.
fixed a potential crash while submitting. 1.0b4 2003-01-13. added results comparison via. revised main window interface. stylized icon further. added stop button to status window.
extended help menu. switched to a harmonic score average. added L2 and L3 cache and bus speed reporting. removed Thread memory contention test, as it didn't give predictable or useful results. improved results stability for disk test, sped up 4K block tests. allowed OpenGL test to run on machines without hardware acceleration.
Xbench now quits on closing the main application window. improved error handling. Why yes, it does do your laundry Xbench currently features the following tests:.
