Hi,

I just ran the test on my E6600. Nothing special compared to these flux capacitor powered machines around here , but i thought it could be interesting to see how an oced conroe sys scales...

Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz @ 3.6GHz [9x400]
2 Cores
Ram: 2,0 GB
Sys: XP64
Time: 00:52:01
Bench: 127.13

Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz @ 3.7GHz [9x412]
2 Cores
Ram: 2,0 GB
Sys: XP64
Time: 00:50:43
Bench: 130.39

I hear you can pick up a pair of flux capacitors on Newegg.com for around $2000. -- give or take.

...oh, that's too much for me, i'll wait till they drop to $1000 or so

CPU:MacPro Dual Quad Core (8) 3g Ram: 4 gigs OS:OS 10.4.9 Tester: tcamco Time: 23m12s Bench:282.5

You forgot to add processor speed .....

[tcamco]

3.0GHz

[deadalvs]

and there we see the difference tween mac os and win xp 64 ...

[ivox3]

About the same I'd say ..... it was a 3.0Ghz ..

[deadalvs]

i've seen it, but actually, now i'm also astounded ...

we're getting old... well, our boxes...

People can do in 21min what I can do in 3.5 hours on my home PC ... not good enough I think I will wait for the dual octa-cores.

[deadalvs]

ah, an optimist ...

wait one more year... hehe...

I'm just glad to see that, for once, the PC is outdoing the Mac with equivalent specifications. Also, if you look closely, it's actually a pretty significant difference! There's almost a 2 minute time decrease with the PC dual quad-cores, which accounts for a 9.5% gain in speed on the Speed Test scene (from the quickest render of 21:27 minutes). This might not be significant for a 21 minute render, but with a large scene at high resolution, that 9.5% time saving could be huge!! For an animation render, that 9.5% saving on time on each frame is even more important.
