Combustion 4 on a dual core intel mac

[Anonymous]

Hi there, I was wondering if anybody here has already tested combustion on a dual core intel mac.
I am wondering if there’s some enhancement due to the pc like configuration and the linux like OS.
Cheers

I’m using Combustion 4 on a Mac Pro (Intel). It seems more or less the same as it did on a G5, possibly a bit faster – but most likely due to faster CPUs rather than any code optimization.

As I thought.

Just to be clear, I have run some benchmarks comparing the Mac and Windows versions of Combustion 4 on the Mac Pro, dual booting between OS X and Windows XP. The performance is almost identical between the two platforms. Render times have been consistently between 5-7% variation (varying both ways) between Windows and OS X.

In short, they’re evenly matched. Apart from Backburner and certain Windows-only third-party plugins, the Mac and Windows versions of Combustion have more or less achieved feature and performance parity.
