#Apple macbook 2006 model pro
However in the OpenGL hardware Lightning test we see a clear weakness of the MacBook pro (MacOs X?), like already with Doom 3. In the Cinebench benchmark the rendering performance of the processor(s) and the video card are tested. In the rendering discipline the MacBook Pro is far better than the Toshiba Dual Core Notebook. Spinning Squares 133.57 169.44 frames/sec Lock Contention 216,56 9,32 Mlocks/sec, 4 threads Here are the detailed benchmark results from our test:įloating point basic 79,06 1,88 Gflop/secįloating POINT LIBRARY 67,46 11,75 Mops/secondsĬomputation 177,94 3,60 Mops/seconds, 4 threads Also the distance of 8 points to the 1.83 GHz model is relatively large. Here the new Apple notebook strikes the predecessor with 61 to 45 points clearly. Nevertheless the game was perfectly playable without any stutters in settings "high" (border < 30 fps).
#Apple macbook 2006 model driver
Here are either still capacities for driver optimizations or MacOs is X "eats" more resources than Windows (however we guess the first). In comparison, the similar equipped Toshiba Satellite A100 - 153 (with weaker Core Duo) reached 53 fps. In timedemo "demo1" the MacBook Pro resulted on the average 41.7 fps. Only programs, which are not available as Universal Binary (automatically using the emulation layer Rosetta) were on the average about 1/3 more slowly. Those who still work mainly with software not available as Universal Binary, should wait a while with a transfer to the MacBook Pro. Our tested Macbook Pro was equipped with a 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo processor that offers much more performance than the predecessor model with G4 processor in many ranges. The analog and digital audio exits offer a outstanding quality and thereby are outstandingly apt for attaching an external sound system. They play clearly, however only with small basses, and do not override on the highest volume. Also one notices a clear quality step forward in the direct comparison with the Powerbook speakers. Nevertheless the maximum volume is not really convincing. The small stereo-loudspeakers play much louder than the loudspeakers in the G4 Powerbook. If one dims the display a clearly audible huming is ascertainable.Ī few users will call these two noises unpleasant whereas others didn't even recognize them. The second laptop also showed another whining noise. This is also as " whining" known in the internet and was more audible in a second Macbook, which we examined, too. The whining nearly stops without power connection and/or switching off one core of the processor with the developer tools. Unfortunately a very silent constant and unpleasant noise is audible for users. It is interesting, that the minimum volume with 33,5 dB is only 0.2 dB more silent. The Apple Macbook convinces by a measured maximum volume of very quiet 33.7 dB. Loudness is probably the wrong word - whispering would be more suitable. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4
