Benchmark Test comparison between Vista and Ubuntu8.10

Article Title: benchmark test comparison between Vista and Ubuntu8.10. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Since the release of Ubuntu 8.10, there have been many comments, but most of them are personal research results, not hard indicators of performance benchmark testing. on March 13, October 30, IT Channel News published some numbers, which are very interesting. (See Ubuntu 8.10 Is The Real Deal (by Edward F. moltzen, ChannelWeb reporter .)On April 9, October 30, a benchmark test on Vista Business and Ubuntu 8.10 performance was conducted in Primate lab, using the cross-platform testing tool software (geek1_2.0.19 ). geekbench is particularly suitable for Benchmark Testing of multi-core processors, multithreading, and 64-bit (including 32-bit) operating systems.

The test was conducted on the PC Test Bench of the "test center" of the lab. The basic hardware configuration is that the CPU is an Intel dual-core processor E7200 and the clock speed is 2.53 GHz, intel Graphics graphics card and G31T-M motherboard, 2 GB memory. the test results are as follows: the performance index of Vista Business is 2838 (which involves many aspects and is abstract), and Ubuntu 8.10 is 3367, which is significantly higher than Vista. For example, the start time of Vista is 56 seconds, ubuntu 8.10 takes 50 seconds.

Wireless Internet access was once a weakness in Linux. The new Linux kernel version (2.6.27) has greatly changed this situation. in terms of WiFi and 3G Support, Ubuntu 8.10 is easier to operate than Vista. at the same time, Primate Lab publicly stated that, based on their actual testing experience, Ubuntu 8.10 has a higher performance than other Linux distributions. Accordingly, the lab recommends Ubuntu 8.10 To VAR vendors. seeing this conclusion, I thought, "you and me, heart-to-heart" (Olympic lyrics) felt the same.

In November 1, according to figures published by www.w3counter.com, the share of Vista in the world dropped from September in 12.30% to October in 12.14%. The funny thing is that XP has increased without downgrading, from 73.04% in March to 73.80%. at the same time, Linux increased from September in 1.99% to October in 2.09%. this is probably a lot of "netbook" shipments. no wonder Microsoft Ballmer recently told the media that people can go beyond Vista and wait for the release of Windows 7. it seems that the real competitor of Ubuntu 8.10 is not Vista, but XP, especially the modified version XP of tomato garden! In addition, Microsoft is also afraid of modifying version XP, disabling the automatic update function, and resisting genuine verification. What you can do! The hardcore who vowed to take piracy to the end, you are "dead" (Korean people like to say this, it cannot be said, but it doesn't mean very bad anyway ).

I was wondering why hackers are desperate to use a modified version of XP? Isn't it good to switch to Ubuntu? They said that you do not know what XP addiction is like. In the world, where is the XP addiction drug center? How deep is this "poison? How can we avoid this "poison? I hate tomato garden. Hong Lei's modified version of XP has hurt so many people. I don't know how to end this mess. I think the global anti-piracy day cannot be changed to the year of global anti-piracy. at half past six this evening, the Shanghai TV station will interview me on the brainstorm Program (for the "black screen" event, this may be recorded in advance, not live). If possible, I have to approve a batch of tomato gardens. I will go to the Intel Shanghai headquarters tomorrow morning to ask about the self-boot USB flash drive and go back to Beijing in the afternoon. I will share it with you the next morning.

(Note: Recently, many famous foreign experts predict that, as Intel engineers have contributed a fast start patch, the global shipment of Linux-based computers will exceed (outship) next year) windows computer. ubuntu 9.04 will include this Quick Start feature. if domestic manufacturers do not pay attention to such progress as early as possible, they must suffer huge losses .)
