xbench comprehensive macintosh benchmarking comictastic xbench logorrhea xbench simply benchtastic download 1 3 288k support and feedback results comparison site compatibility mac os x 10 3 9 or higher universal binary xbench is freeware if you would like to support future development please make a donation alternate donation methods what people are saying i only tried your product out this afternoon for the first time i m really impressed i heard some buzz about it on versiontracker and some of the tech sites but thought it was only a bench mark utility i had no idea until i downloaded it and watched it run that it was a tool for diagnosing specific problem areas in performance i assumed that it would only output a single number like an overall performance rating then to see that one can use it to compare to other user s systems very comprehensive perre dicarlo www zmudas com the only bench you ll ever need xbench was developed by spiny software to provide a comprehensive benchmarking solution for mac os x xbench is useful not only for comparing the relative speeds of two different macintoshes but also for optimizing performance on a single machine xbench is accompanied by a website that allows graphical side by side comparison of any out of thousands of submitted benchmarks xbench will become an invaluable part of your utilities toolkit stop reading and download it now version history 1 3 2006 08 13 corrected a mistake that caused the altivec test to be turned off on powerpc machines turned off coalesced graphics updates for all platforms on mac os 10 4 4 and higher switched compiler to gcc 4 0 on powerpc this provides some boost to floating point and altivec scores and these have been recalibrated accordingly this also raises xbench s system requirements to 10 3 9 or higher revised machine database to include the macbook intel imac and several other models added code to dynamically load machine database on launch from the xbench website added support for temporarily turning off beam sync on tiger while running graphics tests fixed an issue that causes xbench to fail to launch on leopard built with xcode 2 4 1 2 2005 07 30 built as a universal binary to run on both powerpc and x86 macs re calibrated 100 point baseline to a 2 0 ghz g5 running tiger altered graphics code to flush only every 1 60th of a second in order to cooperate with tiger beam syncing built intel code on gcc 4 0 powerpc remains on gcc 3 3 for 10 3 compatibility 1 1 3 2003 10 06 fixed a cpu test crash on g5s fixed cpu and cache speed reporting on ibooks powerbooks under 10 2 8 1 1 2 2003 09 29 fixed cpu test crash minor changes to thread computation test fixed issue limiting ram reporting to 2 gigabytes on g5s fixed l2 cache speed and bus frequency to show in ghz if applicable fixed a crashing bug during the text test 1 1 1 2003 09 03 more changes for the ppc 970 improved veclib fft test consistency fixed issue causing opengl test to hang until clicking in window on certain machines fixed l2 cache speed and bus frequency to show in ghz if applicable improved optimization on altivec basic test better optimized stream tests for g4 g5 thanks chris cox added build number to system version 1 1 2003 08 23 optimized for the powermac g5 compiled with gcc 3 3 avoid use of vec_dst on powerpc 970 for better performance changes to the altivec test to reduce dependence on memory bandwidth removed use of vec_dstt changes to floating point test added veclib fft test added automatic machine type detection fixed an issue where the results submission sheet caused the results window to become catatonic prettier submit button recalibration of cpu tests disk tests fixed spinning rainbow cursor during opengl test 1 0 2003 01 27 first non beta release added model detection added cpu version detection made cache reporting more reliable on upgraded machines made processor type detection more reliable on upgraded machines corrected a crash while gathering cache information improved video card detection on a variety of machines fixed detection of dual processors fixed a problem causing the ui test to display progressively lower results each time it was run added progress sheet for results submission fixed a potential crash while submitting 1 0b7 2003 01 22 added drive type reporting added video card type reporting improved l2 l3 cache reporting for upgrade cards added cache speed reporting fixed a potential crash in the user interface test fixed a potential crash when an individual test returns its results added a small pause between tests to allow the ui to catch up 1 0b6 2003 01 16 fixed issue causing the user interface test to freeze fixed a bug causing machines to list their processor speeds as 1000 00 ghz rather than 1 00 ghz added g4 cube g4 digital audio g4 gigabit and g4 sawtooth to system list reformatted read me to wrap better 1 0b5 2003 01 14 fixed last minute bug causing processor info to be omitted 1 0b4 2003 01 13 added results comparison via website revised main window interface stylized icon further added stop button to status window extended help menu switched to a harmonic score average added l2 and l3 cache and bus speed reporting removed thread memory contention test as it didn t give predictable or useful results improved results stability for disk test sped up 4k block tests allowed opengl test to run on machines without hardware acceleration xbench now quits on closing the main application window improved error handling 1 0b3 2002 11 24 added spinning squares opengl test fixed altivec test to better utilize caches not cause vm thrash on low memory machines added 4k block size disk test simulates heavy vm paging fixed bug causing erroneously high results on almost full disks added l1 cache size and bus frequency reporting l2 and l3 reporting not yet working added document icons 1 0b2 2002 09 22 added option to save file in xbench format or as a plain text file added ability to copy benchmark results as text added popup to allow selection of disk to benchmark new thread test added a system info section new altivec test within cpu test added a new detail column giving unit second measures for most tests added an error dialog when run on pre 10 2 systems fixed an error causing the ui test to run slower on dual processor systems re calibrated the disk test to use an ide disk pending tech support on atto scsi card fixed an error causing the graphics test to produce the following console log message kcgerrorfailure cgcontextclosepath no current point 1 0b1 2002 09 15 first public release why yes it does do your laundry xbench currently features the following tests cpu gcd recursion floating point basic altivec basic floating point library threads supports multiprocessor macs computation lock contention memory system allocate fill copy stream copy scale add triad quartz graphics line rectangle circle bezier text opengl graphics spinning squares
