If you’d like us to conduct future tests on your custom Mac Pro (I say “custom” because the Mac Pro you describe in your other comment - 2 x 6-core hyperthreaded 3.33GHz - is not a configuration Apple ever shipped), then please send it to us and we’ll be happy to do the additional testing. That’s why we used both a MacBook Pro and mid-level Mac Pro in the tests.
Neither company claimed that our testing procedure or the configuration of our virtual machines were incorrect or unfair.ģ) Other than providing licenses for both Fusion 8 and Parallels Desktop 11 for our tests, TekRevue was not remunerated by either company in any way, nor were the tests conducted or guided by anyone outside of TekRevue.Ĥ) These products, and our review, are primarily targeted at consumers. You’ll find this information on the ironically named “Test Setup & Methodology” page.Ģ) We submitted our results and methodology to both Parallels and VMware to give each company a chance to respond. Let me clarify for you:ġ) The exact models and specifications for the testing hardware are listed in the article, along with the methodology used for the tests. The scores in the chart below are based on comparative Cinebench “points,” with a higher number indicating better performance.
#OPTIMIZE PARALLELS FOR WINDOWS 10 ARCGIS TRIAL#
While we don’t think that this Cinebench bug as it stands today is an indictment of Fusion’s potential overall, it does suggest that users who are interested in OpenGL rendering via apps like Cinema 4D may wish to test performance via the Fusion and Parallels free trial programs to ensure adequate performance with their required apps.Īll of that said, the CPU-based rendering tested by Cinebench performed without issue in all platforms. We’ve asked VMware about this bug and they told us that their priority for this release was to optimize OpenGL performance for productivity applications, but they’re investigating the cause of the issue in Cinebench. There’s a problem with that last category, however, as there’s a bug in Fusion 8 that produces abnormally low results, and the resulting score of the test is not indicative of actual OpenGL performance. Cinebench looks at three primary categories: multi-thread CPU rendering, single-thread CPU rendering, and OpenGL 3D performance.
