Mac OS X 10.5 vs. Ubuntu 8.10 Benchmarks - TechAmok
Mac OS X 10.5 vs. Ubuntu 8.10 Benchmarks - [briefly] 03:55 PM EST - Nov,06 2008 - post a comment Phoronix
have pit Apple's OS X 10.5 against Ubuntu 8.10 in a battle to the death. For
this testing they had used an Apple Mac Mini with an Intel Core 2 Duo T5600
clocked at 1.83GHz, its motherboard uses the Intel Mobile 945 + ICH7-M with
integrated graphics, 1GB of DDR2 memory, and has an 80GB Hitachi HTS542580K9SA00
HDD. For our Mac OS X "Leopard" testing we had used version 10.5.5, which has
the 9.5.0 kernel, X.Org 1.3.0-apple22, a reported OpenGL string of 1.2
APPLE-1.5.30, GCC 4.0.1, and uses a Journaled HFS+ file-system. They had used
Apple's BootCamp to install Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" on the Mac Mini. Both
the x86 and x86_64 editions of Ubuntu 8.10 use the Linux 2.6.27 kernel, X Server
1.5.2, OpenGL 1.4 Mesa 7.2, the xf86-video-intel 2.4.1 driver, GCC 4.3.2, and an
EXT3 file-system. As Java was used in some of their benchmarks, Mac OS X 10.5.5
provides an official build of Java 1.5.0 while Ubuntu 8.10 was using Java 1.6
through IcedTea 1.3.1. Each operating system was left in its stock configuration
and in the stock Phoronix Test Suite configuration, which includes running each
test multiple times, etc. Compiz was disabled during the Ubuntu Linux testing.
The SQLite database library is used by many software projects including Mozilla
Firefox and Skype, including a number of Apple products. SQLite is extensively
used in Mac OS X as well as with the iPhone and iPod Touch. Mac OS X was
superior to Ubuntu in SQLIte 3.6.3 when measuring the time to perform 12,500
database row insertions. Mac OS X 10.5.5 was over four times faster at
performing these SQL database operations than Ubuntu x86 and x86_64. The read
and write XML performance using our PHP-driven test was much closer between
Leopard and Intrepid, but the x86_64 Ubuntu had won both tests.
We ended out our Mac OS X and Ubuntu comparison with several Java tests. In
Sunflow, which is a global illumination and image synthesis engine with a
ray-tracing core, Mac OS X and its Sun Java 1.5 stack was over 40% faster than
Ubuntu 8.10 in conjunction with IcedTea providing Java 1.6. The Java performance
in Mac OS X was similarly faster when using Bork as a file encryption benchmark.
Completing the benchmarks, Ubuntu was faster in its Java computational
performance with the Java version of SciMark 2.0 in FFT (Fast Fourier
Transform), SOR (Successive Over-Relaxation), and composite tests.
Apple's Mac OS X 10.5.5 "Leopard" had strong performance leads over Canonical's
Ubuntu 8.10 "Intrepid Ibex" in the OpenGL performance with the integrated Intel
graphics, disk benchmarking, and SQLite database in particular. Ubuntu on the
other hand was leading in the compilation and BYTE Unix Benchmark. In the
audio/video encoding and PHP XML tests the margins were smaller and no
definitive leader had emerged. With the Java environment, Sunflow and Bork were
faster in Mac OS X, but the Intrepid Ibex in SciMark 2 attacked the Leopard.
These results though were all from an Apple Mac Mini.
