I think that was run with the 5.2 beta but...is that the universal binary version ? Because I thought I read intel mac users will have to pay for the universal binary or is it included free in the beta ?

Yes thats probably it. And its free I think... I thought he didnt had the beta, a little mixup!

Ok i understand now that there is an option:-

"On Windows and OS X (Power-PC) you can unlock this beta with your
Live 5 serial number."

"On OS X (Intel) or if you do not own Live 5 you can unlock this beta version
using the beta serial number provided on the beta website."

So i am assuming that test was done with the OS X (Intel) beta ?

i cant handle the stupidity, i truly cant.


i'm running the beta right now, i'm getting anywhere between 27-43 percent.

REMINDER to the retarded: this is functioning under 1 core, yes 1 core, meaning 2.0ghz of a processor. so, go buy yourself a 2.0 single core cpu and it will run around the same speed, prob slower considering the other upgrades to the yonah.

the chip is a DUEL CORE. macbooks have an entire core sitting there picking its ass.


until 6.0 comes out macbook customers will only be happy they are on pace with current pc's.

[jimmynitcher]

Oh you poor thing being so intelligent what a burden it must be looking down on all of us poor thickos, my heart bleeds..

anyhow thankyou for pointing that out - Logic Pro does (Dual) does indeed show a performance boost x4.

I shall look forward to Live 6 - in the meantime I am very happy.

Anyone for a dose of humility?

How come the Imacs are getting such better results than the Macbook Pro's? Are you sure there isn't a powersave featuring that you haven't disabled yet?

Please confirm this is using the ppc osx 5.2 beta and not the intel osx 5.2 beta ?
