Xbench benchmarks...
Since Xbench does no longer crash since 06/17 nightly, I'm posting my benchmarks now.
I ONLY benched the CPU (unchecked all other options). I think this way results should be fairly comparable. Get yourself Xbench 1.1.3 from http://xbench.com/ and post your results!

For comparison here the same benchmark (CPU only) of my G3 600 MHz iBook.

I don't think it's broken, but from the point of view of benchtesting software, I don't think you will get accurate results if it's not a realtime clock.
It will probably give you a good approximation, but I don't think it will be entirely accurate.

Once you've made something idiot proof, they go and invent a better idiot!

SpeedX seems more reliable
Hi All,
I've been trying to benchmark PPC for some time. Found that X-bench is not a reliable benchmarking tool, and... it crashes.
SpeedX seems more reliable. It only calculates common instructions and FP instructions. the results are given in MIPS, which is quite a useful benchmark for an emulator. i have been able to benchmark UAE, basilik II and Mandrake 10 in the same way.
You can find SpeedX 1.2 here: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12102
Since the 0.12 release I have seen a real interesting speed increase and the 0.3pre CVS and SDL builds from 16 june have shown the highest benchmarks so far.
On my P4 3Ghz, 1024-786 x 32 refresh at 40, CVS shows 87.1 MIPS (889 Mhz. in profiler screen, but that could be a miscalculation) and the SDL built shows even 91.4 MIPS. The speed has increased since early June from 83.6 MIPS. And indeed it feels a little faster. Great job so far!
The SDL-build of 16-6 feels rather smooth and even word-processing runs at acceptable speed, but quicktime movies are stil jerky.
Keep it up!
F.M.

Try to use nbench/bytemark, I have uploaded OSX binaries here:
<http://gwenole.beauchesne.free.fr/benchmarks/>
I also put Linux/PPC and Linux/X86 statically linked binaries I use for performance evaluation. I will try to provide MacOS FAT binaries too but that will use CodeWarrior instead of gcc in other builds.
