An iBook G3 500Mhz with 640MB RAM and an IBM ThinkPad 240x P3 500Mhz
with 192MB RAM. Both machines have the same L1 and L2 cache. The iBook
has 66mhz FSB, ThinkPad has 100mhz FSB.
The iBook benches at 234 and the ThinkPad benches at 289.
Is the iBook really that poor that even with 3 times the RAM, the
ThinkPad still trounces it.
In what way does GeekBench work the memory so as to get a benchmark from it?
Does having a 100mhz FSB vs 66mhz one make such a massive difference?
Yes.
Is the Pentium 3 processor better than the G3 one?
No.
