[QUOTE="moro, post: 13707"] Hi all. In the end I find someone who performed my "real-life" benchmarks. Here are the results. For comparison, I have included some PC running linux: MC is a Monte Carlo simulation MDBNCH is a Molecular dynamics simulation Times are in seconds. Thus, the smaller, the best. Computer: PowerMac G5 2.0 GHz Compiler: xlf (IBM) Results: 1.514s (mdbnch) and 6.957s (MC) Computer: PowerMac G4 1.0 GHz COmpiler: xlf (IBM) Results: 3.780s (mdbnch) and 12.34s (MC) Computer: Pentium IV 2.8 GHz Compiler: g77 (GNU) Results: 2.031 (mdbnch) and 4.342 (MC) Computer: Pentium III 2.0 GHz Compiler: g77 (GNU) Results: 4.11s (mdbnch) and 11.24 (MC) Computer: Centrino 1.5 GHz compiler: g77 (GNU) Results: 2.9s (mdbnch) and 6.8 (MC) Thus, buying a brand new powermac g4 is like buying a pentium III of 2001 in my case Macs could be great, but not for me...
