Ubuntu 9.04 vs. Mac OS X 10.5.6 Benchmarks

[ Thanks to Michael Larabel for

“Like our earlier article when benchmarking Mac OS X,
for this testing we used an Apple Mac Mini with an Intel Core 2 Duo
T5600 clocked at 1.83GHz, an Intel 945 + ICH-7M motherboard with
integrated graphics, 1GB of DDR2 memory, and an 80GB Hitachi
HTS542580K9SA00 HDD. On the Apple side was Mac OS X 10.5.6 with all
available updates and on the Ubuntu side was Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit.
The kernel reported on OS X 10.5.6 is 9.6.0 i386, X Server
1.3.0-apple22, OpenGL 1.2 APPLE-1.5.36, GCC 4.2.1, and a Journaled
HFS+ file-system was used. Ubuntu 9.04 uses the Linux 2.6.28
kernel, X Server 1.6.0, xf86-video-intel 2.6.3, OpenGL 1.4 Mesa
7.4, GCC 4.3.3, and an EXT3 file-system. When installing Apple’s X
Code it ships with both GCC 4.0 and GCC 4.2, but we had enabled the
later version to be more comparable to the modern day GCC that the
Linux distributions are generally using. Both operating systems
were left running with their stock settings during the testing
process.”
