mac pro 2.66 versus g5 dual 2.7:

100 frames completed versus 23 on the g5

that's nice

i was wondering that there appeared no shake-benchmark yet... so get this

[user_deleted]

there used to be a site for benchmarks:
http://homepage.mac.com/breadboi/shake

which apparently is out of bandwith atm

for those interested, i did a quick benchmark with the following script (which should be not i/o limited)...

CODE
// Input nodes

Checker1 = Checker(720, 576, 1, 32, xSize/GetDefaultAspect());
Grad1 = Grad(2048, 1556, 1, 0.5, 0.5, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0,
    1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0);

// Processing nodes

FilmGrain1 = FilmGrain(Grad1, "v3.0", 1, 1, 1, time, "Custom",
    0.05, rStdDev, rStdDev, 1.2, rSoftness, rSoftness, 0, rFilmResponse,
    rFilmResponse, 0, 0, 0, 0);
Resize1 = Resize(Checker1, 2048, 1556, "default", 0);
Primatte_v21 = Primatte_v2(FilmGrain1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0,
    0, "a", "a", 0, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, "80000WDcsuyUNVK40KXr2cAWDA0000014");
KeyMix1 = KeyMix(Resize1, FilmGrain1, Primatte_v21, 1, "A", 100,
    0);
Resize2 = Resize(KeyMix1, 720, 576, "default", 0);
benchmarks = FileOut(Resize2, "/Volumes/RAID/benchmark/benchmarks.#.jpg",
    "Auto", "rgb", 100);

on a mac pro 2.66 with 1GB ram...

interesting results:

strangely enough, the 2 CPU setting was a bit faster than the 4 cup setting ..
i did check the activity monitor and the CPUs did in fact recognize the cpu 2 and cpu 1 option, but switched between processors for each frame.

would be interested in the results on a quad g5
