Core2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz and geekbench
I have a Mhackintosh with Core2 Quad Q6600, 4-cores running at 3.0Ghz, and ran GeekBench 32bits on it. Final score is deceiving, but Integer score, that matter for my kinda application is explosive : 7098!
It’s over a Core i7 2.8Ghz iMac geekbench 32bits Integer score (under 7000), so it’s a perfect fit for a computer that will run up to 3 Virtual Machines for development and Linux/Apache/PHP/MySQL (LAMP) software simulation and test. All these software do mainly if not uniquely Integer computation.
In this case, floating point computation is of no importance whatsoever, and memory speed not so important with 8MB cache on-chip
PS: I will go back to 3.2Ghz and test reliability of the Quad-core Mhackintosh under heavy load, at 3.0Ghz it’s perfect, I just re-encoded 3 Full HD movies in 4.3GB H.264 today!
