Fight for strength! FreeBSD "Double Star" challenges Ubuntu Platform

In the open-source world, FreeBSD is an efficient and stable UNIX operating system and one of the many BSDUNIX branches. FreeBSD8.1 is the first major upgraded version since the release of FreeBSD8.0 in November. Although FreeBSD8.1 has not been released on the FreeBSD official website, but users can find it on the official FTP: i386: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeB

In the open-source world, FreeBSD is an efficient and stable UNIX operating system and one of the many bsd unix branches. FreeBSD 8.1 is the first major upgraded version since the release of FreeBSD November In 8.0. Although the FreeBSD official website has not released the message released by FreeBSD 8.1, users can find it on the official FTP:

I386: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/8.1/

AMD64: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/8.1/

Through the application of FreeBSD 8.1, The Phoronix lab has recently set up another test platform to allow FreeBSD 8.1 to compare and test FreeBSD 8.0 and Ubuntu 10.10.The Phoronix test suite conducted by The test includes LAME MP3 encoding tests, 7-Zip compression, Gzip compression, LZMA compression, POV-Ray, C-Ray, John The Ripper, dcraw, MAFFT, graphicsMagick, Himeno, and Threaded I/O tests.

The test platform uses Lenovo ThinkPad T61 and is equipped with Intel Core 2 T9300 dual-core processor 100 GHz clock speed, 4 GB system memory, Hitachi HTS72201 gb sata hard drive, and NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M graphics card.

In the first LAME MP3 encoding test, Ubuntu 10.10 showed higher performance than FreeBSD 8.0 and FreeBSD 8.1 RC2. However, there is no obvious systemic difference between FreeBSD and FreeBSD.

FreeBSD 8.1 RC2 has a weak advantage in the 7-Zip compression performance test, which is 10.10 faster than Ubuntu 4% and stronger than FreeBSD 8.0.
