After several attempts my 15" PowerBook (2004, 1.3 GHz, 2 x 512 MB RAM, else completely standard) achieved a Geekbench2-score of 800, well above the 685 listed in Everymac.com. I guess Everymac is publishing averages, so a peak score quite above is nothing extraordinary.
After I did some web-browsing with TenFourFox – modern sites with animated ads – hence the fan kicked in – I ran Geekbench2 again and now I barely reached a score of 500.
Does this mean that thermal throttling is also available in PPCs? It had been my understanding this was introduced with the Intels.
I don't think that I have overlooked other factors like background processes or RAM-shortage due to memory leaks in programs I had opened and close before.
Had anybody had similar observations? Do you know about throttling in G4s?
