Geekbench Preview 2 for Rosetta tests and evaluates the performance of Rosetta on an operating system, providing a comprehensive assessment of its capabilities.
If you are a Mac user, Rosetta performance may be an area you're concerned with. Many have asked if it's possible to measure Rosetta performance with Geekbench. Unfortunately, there are currently no benchmarks available to test Rosetta performance. That's why we've released Geekbench Preview 2 for Rosetta, a PowerPC-only version of Geekbench Preview 2.
This version runs natively on PowerPC-based Macs but runs under Rosetta on Intel-based Macs, giving you an idea of how efficient Rosetta is at translating PowerPC instructions. If you have an iMac Core Duo or MacBook Pro, go ahead and download it to give it a try.
Geekbench Preview 2 for Rosetta comes with several new improvements. We have fixed artificially high Blowfish results on Mac OS X and Linux, as well as artificially low Stdlib Allocate results on Mac OS X. Moreover, CPU counts (both physical and logical) are now reliably reported on Linux, and bus frequency is now reported on Windows.
Overall, Geekbench Preview 2 for Rosetta is a great tool for Mac users looking to measure Rosetta performance. The new improvements make it even more reliable and convenient to use. Try it today and see how well your Mac performs!
