43%?! something sounds wrong what version of live are you using?

Apple use Toshiba drives and Live 5.2b4.

Doesn't exactly blow me away either...it would be great if I could discover I was doing something wrong.

i got that on my test box single core 47%ish..
p4 2.8ghz 10.4.4

nudge nudge wink wink..

sounds like something is wrong didn't i read that the dual core imac
was getting 20-29% or something?

yeah i thought someone already posted performence test of 25-30% was that fake? if it really does take it to 40's that sucks

Was this live 5.2 or Live running on Rosetta?

No, not Rosetta... it's the 5.2 beta. I got between 34-39% on my 2.0GHz MacBook Pro. Are the iMacs really that much faster to get a 26-29% score?

Other than that, I do have to say that I am ECSTATIC about the MacBook Pro. The graphics are sooo smooth and the GUI is so responsive even when doing intensive music work. Live runs a million times better than my old Powerbook, and feels just about the same as my Dual 2.5 G5.

Logic is simply amazing on this machine because of its optimized usage of dual procs.

When Live 6 comes out, it'll be bananas!

Hmmm...this is somewhat disappointing...though an upgrade to a MBP 1.83 would be quite a step up from my iBook 933 that won't even run AdamJay's test!

i decided to download the beta because of this.

i'm getting about the same rates as the imacs.

i haven't seen it spike to 39 percent at all.

Digi - what are the specs of your MBP?

sweetjesus · Post by **sweetjesus** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 11:10 pm

can someone try Live out on this model computer and tell me how well it performs using AdamJay's test?

Not as fast as a Powerbook or imac if Mr Jobs has anything to do with it
