Quad-Processor G5 -- The results...
Did some tests this morning on two of my models with full HDRI and Radiosity. Scenes 1024 x 768, both with Radiosity samples 300, Diffuse scattering 3.
Machine1: PowerMac G5 2.5 GHz Dual Dual-core, 1.5 GB RAM
Machine 2: PowerMac G5 2.0 GHz Dual Single-core, 2GB RAM.
Scene 1, Machine 1: Rendered in 814s
Scene 1, Machine 2: Rendered in 1812s
SpeedUp 2.23 x
(if I do a fag-packet normalization of processor speeds, the speed up is 3.55 times single to quad processor).
Scene 2, Machine 1: Rendered in 1637s
Scene 2, Machine 2: Rendered in 3538s
SpeedUp 2.16 x
A cursory test, but pretty impressive.
And just to prove it:
