ThinkSecret.com has posted a screenshot that shows results from Skidmarks GT, a benchmarking utility that’s part of Apple’s CHUD performance tools. Based on the test ThinkSecret ran, this provides a “rough comparison of G5 and G4 performance.”
“The Skidmarks scale has ‘100’ equal a Power Mac G4 at 1GHz,” ThinkSecret reports. “The Dual 2GHz received scores of 172 for integer performance, 270 for floating point performance, and 208 for vector performance.”
ThinkSecret also notes that the Power Mac G5 is running Mac OS X Version 10.2.7 known internally as “Smeagol,” and features screenshots of “About This Mac,” “Apple System Profiler,” and the “CPU Preference Pane.”
