Thread Starter | Benchmark - Old g5 2.7 vs new Mac pro's? I'm considering a move soon to a new Mac Pro of some description from my PPC g5 2.7. Anyone made this leap? I can't find any benchmarks comparing the older machines with the new ones. Plug ins counts on Tools is something i understand for example.. |

| Index of /logicprobenchmark Here is a very simple benchmark test. Download the zipfile located on the link above. Open with Logic 8.01. Then un-mute tracks one by one and check how many tracks your computer is able to run. My iMac intelduo 2.4 GHz can run 16 tracks. Feel free to email your result to me, evan@evan.se Results from different users so far: MacPro 2.8GHz 8 core: 50 tracks Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5: 21 tracks iMac 2.4Ghz duo: 18 tracks Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz: 16 tracks PowerMac G5 2x2.5: 11 tracks |

| Depending on the weather conditions etc, a 8x 2.8GHz mac pro can run 100-110 stereo space designers with the built in audio @ 44.1kHz & 256 buffer. Just to compare with the results posted earlier in this thread. |
