Apple Mac OS X 10.8 vs. Linux
Performance benchmarks of Apple Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Testing from Developer Preview 1 build 12A128p with the Darwin 12.0 64-bit kernel it uses and the latest Xcode. More Mac OS X 10.8 benchmarks to come when its properly released. Testing from a mid-2011 Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5 Apple Mac Mini for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel.
