Mac mini Core Duo: new benchmarks

by linathael . Original by Lionel - 08/03/2006 16:22:51 CET
XLR8yourmac has published results obtained by a Mac mini core Duo using the Cinebench tests. Some of those results are particularly interesting:
Shading (CINEMA 4D): 301 CB-GFX
Shading (OpenGL Software Lighting): 1088 CB-GFX
Shading (OpenGL Hardware Lighting): 550 CB-GFX
OpenGL Speedup: 3.62
As shown in benchmark results published by Ars Technica yesterday, OpenGL Software performance a much higher than the OpenGL hardware performance: in other words the CPU is much better than the GPU for graphic rendering...
In fact, the processor is delivering better graphic performance than a Radeon 9600 or a Radeon 9700 Mobility. We would obtain better performance with games by allocating one core to graphic rendering while the remaining core will manage other tasks; than using the integrated GPU.
