On an iMac Core Duo, a tick or two slower than a Quad G5.

Are you saying that the overall compile speed of an entire project is about the same with all cores being used at once, or that the time for a single file compile is about the same?

In our tests, a large C++ project finishes a full clean build slightly (a matter of seconds) sooner on a Quad Tower than it does on a Core Duo iMac. So the 2-core Intel is only slightly slower than the 4-core Quad for full builds.

Just to add another measurement here's the results of my tests for a full build & link using XCode:


iMac Core Duo: 05:37
Dual 1.8G G5: 11:10
Dist. to seven 1.8G Dual G5s: 03:58
Metrowerks on a Dual 1.8 G5: about 8-9 minutes (IIRC, it has been a long time since I've timed Metrowerks).


Needless to say I am very pleased with the speed of the new Intel iMacs, at least for compiling. I can't imagine if I had a build farm of Core Duo's.
