‘86 Mac Plus vs. AMD DualCore

Hal Licino just published a study at hubpages.com about a comparison between efficiency on basic operations in two computers. That is not new, but the interesting thing is that one of that computers is 21 year older than the other!

The two candidates where a ‘86 Mac Plus running System 6.0.8 OS and a AMD DualCore running Windows XP SP2.

And who you think that is the winner?? Unbelievable but the Mac Plus was faster than the AMD DualCore in 53% of the operations tested!!

The tests consist of simple, but most used operations that current office users use in normal environments in Word and Excel. And the article claims that “the massive advances in technology in the past two decades have brought zero advance in productivity“.

Here is the link to the article if you want to see the details of the test:

This is the machine that won to the AMD DualCore:
