After the recent benchmarking results of Ubuntu 13.04, there have been similar benchmark testing done for Apple's OS X 10.8.3 operating system on MacBook Pro compared to Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, Ubuntu 12.10, and the latest Ubuntu 13.04 (post Beta 2) state. Ubuntu 13.04 is typically known to be competitive with OS X 10.8 but now reports suggest that the Ubuntu 13.04 is actually outperforming Apple's operating system on its own MacBook hardware in some areas.
According to the report , the same Apple MacBook Pro hardware was used for the testing both the operating systems with Intel integrated graphics. In terms of hardware specs of the Apple MacBook Pro used for benchmark testing, it was powered by an Intel Core i5 520M processor, 4 GB RAM, 120GB OCZ Agility 2 SSD, and Intel "Ironlake" IGP graphics.
Benchmarking on the Apple OS X and Ubuntu Linux was managed and undertaken by Phoronix Test Suite, which is an open-source benchmarking software. Users can check the detailed benchmarking results on OpenBenchmarking.org.
The fact that Ubuntu 13.04 performs better than Apple OS X on devices like Apple MacBook Pro is clearly an indication that the open-source Linux based operating system has enough juice to out-run the best in the business.
