How high of an Speedometer score do you guys get?

How high of an Speedometer score do you guys get? (on an old PowerPC ofcourse!😉)
Here is mine:

ooh this is a good chance to test interweb RR3 vs RR4, which switched to a single build rather than G3 / G4 / G5

This is through InterwebPPC on a dualcore 2ghz PMG5. Now compared to my win10 box, it scored 171.

What does the +- score mean.
Doing this on my 2019 MBP obviously gave me a high score, but the +- score was also 3.7, which if it's measuring accuracy, is super sucky

Shiratsuyu is having a disk moment so Surcouf is filling in for "most PowerfulBook PowerBook". Its poor little fan screamed in agony.

And it's the worst in the thread.



edit: after I posted this I fixed the disk on Shiratsuyu so I fired it up again and
the radeon carries

PowerBook G4 1.67 on InterWebPCC RR4 and Dark Web 38.9.0.

This is the highest I can get on TenFourFox

I am interested to see what my early intel macs score like 1,1 cMP, a1278s etc. Will do that later today after work

 

[Ryan Bremer]

also check your Activity Monitor on each of your setups for unneccesary proccesses (disable airport utility if you're connected with Ethernet, syslogd if you don't want system logs, /usr/sbin/update cuz its not like os x 10.4/5/6 gets any updates anymore, etc...)

 

[Ryan Bremer]

Aaand i have beaten my own record

Tried again on Shiratsuyu by reducing running processes, closed Classic, used the lightest browser I could that still runs this, and even tried an old trick from the way old days of.... not rendering the window at all by putting it offscreen, and got so little better that it didn't even warrant a screenie. 4.31.

(also for posterity and extra comparisons, my workhorse laptop (ameowli.dev) scores an even 100, my livestreaming machine (ameowli.dev) scored 87.8, and my M1 Mac mini (ameowli.dev) scored 418)

I also dusted off my old PowerBook G4 1.5 and ran some tests on InterWebPCC RR3 (G4-optimized version), InterWebPCC RR4, and Dark Web 38.9.0. I was a bit surprised that the general RR4 version is slightly faster than the G4 version for RR3.

Since I got curious, I ran a test on my iPhone 12 Pro (Apple A14 Bionic), which scored 299, or up to 100 times faster than my PowerBook.

maybe it could be faster on Mac OS 10.4 (and with background things such as update syslogd and iTunes helper disabled)

Here's some scores from various computers, including some MacBooks.

damn, you're the best, you took the time to perform the benchmark on all your setups!

Powermac G3 B&W RevB

Kept KPing so I switched out the ATIRage that was in there with a flashed Radeon7000. Kept things together long enough to get this score.

that's the lowest Speedometer score i have seen!

I didnt time it specifically but I'm pretty darn sure it took over an hour to complete. I slapped some pci goodies, spare drive & extra ram into a spare Quickilver box, installed 9.2 on it, took some screenies and the B&W still wasn't done lol.

Once is enough for me although it is very cool that a Powermac from 1999 was able to complete and post that result onto this forum in 2023 - Grumpily so but it did it.

Here's another set of computers. Using Dark Web brings the score up quite a bit compared to InterWeb, at least on my G5.

 

[Ryan Bremer]

the g5's score ain't that bad!

In realworld application, my a1117 is much snappier than my a1047. I equate a1117 feel to Intel core duo territory where as the a1047 feels more like a highend dual cpu g4 powermac. I'll have to dust off my dual CPU 2.0ghz and see how close it gets to my dual core 2ghz a1117. It has been mothballed since my cMP 1,1 became my garage bench mac.

I also have never used darkweb and folks in this thread have seen a marked improvement in score vs Interweb which is my preferred PPC browser to date, so I wonder if running speedometer in DW will put my a1117 score over the 6.0 mark? More things to waste my time with
