Karsten Wolf has been kind enough to point these VM at his office mac intel machine. We're still working on getting the graphics to blit right.

however he can share that he saw

0 tinyBenchmarks intel '184,172,661 bytecodes/sec; 6,791,093 sends/sec'

typically on my pb17inch I'd see

pb17 '113,575,865 bytecodes/sec; 5,115,497 sends/sec'

however we need to run a macro benchmark to understand how fast it really is.

This is with gcc 4.x intel -Os optimization, I'll note -O3 causes the VM to crash, and no-one has shared their favourite compiler options with me yet...

If other have access to a mac intel machine and are willing to share that would be welcome news. I'll also note that it is more likely that we can use the unix version of the OSProcessPlugin now, but need someone to poke at that.

I've posted a new carbon mac vm v 3.8.10b15

http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html

Follow the link to the idisk, then to the experimental directory for Squeak 3.8.10beta15.app.zip

I notice there's also an Intel directory in there with what looks like some Universal Binaries. Has anyone run any benchmarks with these yet?
