OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Delivers Some Performance Improvements

Some workloads though do benefit from OS X 10.8.

Again, if you would like to see how your system's overall performance compares to the brand new Retina MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8, it's simply a matter of executing phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1208098-SU-OSXMOUNTA86 to facilitate a fully automated hardware/software comparison in a streamlined manner with processes from test downloading and installation to execution and result management being handled in an automated and straightforward manner.

With there being some OS X 10.8 performance improvements over OS X 10.7, the comparative performance results against Linux should be quite interesting. Expect more information next week on Phoronix.
