Altivec Fractal Carbon For MacIntel: PowerFractal

Dauger Research has released a new version of Altivec Fractal Carbon taking advantages of both Altivec (PPC G4 and G5) and SSE and SSE2 instructions sets (Intel CPU); its name: PowerFractal.
To evaluate it, we have run a test on a PMG5 Quad, the result was identical to the one obtained with Altivec Fractal Carbon: 37.7 GFlops.
When running Altivec Fractal Carbon on a MB Core Duo 2.16GHz via Rosetta, we obtained: 3.1 GFlops. Using the same notebook but running PowerFractal, the result was: 6.9 GFlops; rather disappointing for us.
When looking to other published results on the web, it seems that Dauger Research still needs to optimize PowerFractal. It might be a good idea to implement SSE3 support for Intel CPU.
