GRAPH LEGEND:
Dual Core G5/2.0 -- Apple Dual Core G5/2.0GHz Power Mac, 2GB of 533MHz memory and GeForce 6600LE with 128MB VRAM
iMac Core Duo 2.0 -- Apple Intel iMac with 2.0GHz Core Duo, 2GB of 667MHz memory and Radeon 1600 GPU with 128MB VRAM
MacBook Pro 2.0 -- Apple Intel MacBook Pro with 2.0GHz Core Duo, 2GB of 667MHz memory and Radeon X1600 Mobility GPU with 256MB VRAM
MacBook Solo 2.0 -- Apple Intel MacBook Pro with 2.0GHz Core Duo (with one core disabled using C.H.U.D.), 2GB of 667MHz memory and Radeon X1600 Mobility GPU with 256MB VRAM
PowerBook 2.0 -- Apple PowerBook G4/1.5GHz with 2.0GHz 7447A upgrade from Daystar Technology. Includes 2GB of 333MHz DDR memory and Radeon 9700 Mobility GPU with 128MB VRAM.
(NOTE: Adobe Photoshop CS is NOT Universal Binary and therefore performs "weakly" on the Intel Core Duo machines. This will be true of any non-UB application you will be using on an Intel Mac. Some non-UB applications won't work at all. This includes Apple's Final Cut Pro, Motion, and other Pro apps -- which are supposed to go UB by the end of March 2006.)
Compare how the G4 PowerBook does in comparison to the MacBook Pro on both Photoshop graphs.
NOW FOR SOME GRAPHICS INTENSIVE APPS....
CORE IMAGE TESTS
3D OPENGL APPS
NON- UP 3D OPENGL APPS (Note how poorly the MacBook performs when the 3D game is NOT Universal Binary. The PowerBook G4 beats it.)
