Apple vs intel analysis

Post by The Grim Squeaker »

Anadtech has an article up comparing the IBM G5 with Intel's CPU.
This gives us insight on the strength and weakness of Mac OS X.

It also has some thoughts of what they perceive to be OS X's Achilles Heel." From the article: "That is what we'll be doing in this article: we will shed more light on the whole Apple versus x86 PC, IBM G5 versus Intel CPU discussion by showing you what the G5 is capable of when running Linux.

This gives us insight on the strength and weakness of Mac OS X, as we compare Linux and Mac OS X on the same machine.
The article won't answer all the questions that the first one had unintentionally created. As we told you in the previous article, Apple pointed out that Oracle and Sybase should fare better than MySQL on the Xserve platform.
We will postpone the more in-depth database testing (including Oracle) to a later point in time, when we can test the new Apple Intel platform."
the anadtech article, nice to see a basic comparison even if theres nothing really new.

This is NOT an Apple VS Intel in this case, this is OSX VS Linux VS Windows.

In This case, where they talked servers, Linux wins, Windows is fine and OSX crashs because of thread handling.
