Des tests de charges ont été réalisés pour mettre en évidence une certaine notion erronée du progrès dans le monde de l’ordinateur personnel. En effet, aujourd’hui, on peut faire beaucoup plus et bien plus rapidement qu’avec, par exemple, un Mac Plus de 1986. Mais qu’en est-il des temps de réponses pour des applications simple commes le démarrage ou le chargement de Word ou Excel?
In order to keep the hoots and hollers of “unfair comparison” at a minimum, we designed the tests to be as fair and equitable as possible. There was no point running PCMark or Sandra Sisoft-type benchmarks on the two computers as the AMD would have the Mac for lunch. We focussed on running tests that reflect how the user perceives the computing experience. After all, most users don’t know or care whether their computer has a 65nm dual-core CPU or a tiny midget wizard squatting in their cases. All they care about is how it works and how quickly it does the tasks we most often ask it to do. And no, we didn’t include processing-heavy modern software like Photoshop or Crysis! We selected very basic everyday functions that were performed equally by the 1980’s and the 2007 Microsoft applications.
Vous serez surpris des résiltats!
