Last week I bought for other reasons the entry level MacBook computer from Apple. From idle curiosity I downloaded the BOINC agent for Mac and let it run. I am staggered by the amount of work it gets through by comparison with a windows machine.

What does the BOINC benchmark look like?
----------------------------------------Curious.

I read somewhere that the Mac processors have extremely high levels of L1, L2, and L3 cache, not to mention fast FSB and memory speeds. Maybe this is why it is blowing away the Windows computers you are running. I wonder if there is an equivilant of CPU-Z for a Mac? I am Apple ignorant, so I have no idea.
Also, what specs are in the windows machine you are comparing it to? Just wondering if the specs are comparable or if you are comparing a brand new Mac laptop with a new Intel processor to a 3 year old Windows machine with a lower P4. |

OK. Here's 3 AMD64 2.4GHz Windoze machines, each about like this:

I'm not certain of the detail specs but it is seriously fast doing this work. Admittedly the two windows machines are getting on a bit. One is a HP Pavilion with a gig of memory and a huge hard disk, as well as a dual Pentium 4 chip. The other is a Dell with half a gig and a Pentium Mobile chip. Follows the benchmark for the HP Pavilion: 22/07/2007 18:43:41||Running CPU benchmarks 22/07/2007 18:44:13||Benchmark results: 22/07/2007 18:44:13|| Number of CPUs: 2 22/07/2007 18:44:13|| 1414 floating point MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU 22/07/2007 18:44:13|| 2093 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU 22/07/2007 18:44:14||Resuming computation In due course I will add the benchmarks for the Dell to this posting.
