![]() Fusion has difficulty showing the startup video, but Parallels Desktop's graphics are not as rich. ![]() In Civilization, Parallels Desktop has faster FPS (Frames Per Second) and performed better on slower machines while Fusion has better, more detailed graphics. Parallels Desktop for Mac, except for 2 of the 14 testsīoth products did well, except for IE where Parallels Desktop is 80-91% faster ĭependent on game 1, video and Windows environment.ġ 3D Games tested were Civilization IV: Colonization and Portal. ![]() In many cases, tests were performed after both Adam and Successful launches and were timed using a stopwatch. MacTech’s test included launch and CPU tests, File and Network IO, Footprint, Application Launch, Application Performance and 3D and HD Graphics. Both Fusion and Parallels Desktop were optimized for virtual machine performance. The tests were performed on the White MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac and MacPro. In most of MacTech’s tests, Parallels Desktop performed 14-20% faster than Fusion however, Fusion ran 10% faster than Parallels Desktop when running Windows XP 32-bit on 2 virtual processors. In March, 2009, Volume 25, Issue 04, MacTech published the results of a new series of benchmark tests that compared the performance between VMware Fusion 2.0.1 and Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac (build 3540), both running Mac OS X 10.5.5. No third party software was installed other than Mac OS X, VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Adobe Reader and Microsoft Office. All tests were done on clean host systems with new installations of Mac OS X 10.4.10 and Office installations and included all of the most up-to-date patches. ![]() MacTech tested Parallels Desktop 3.0 for Mac Build 5160 and VMware Fusion 1.0 Build 51348. Shorter bars indicate faster performance.įile:Mactech-cross-platform.png File:Mactech-network-file-io.pngĮach test was run on a MacBook (2 GB RAM 1.83 GHz Core Duo processor), a MacBook Pro (4 GB RAM 2.16 GHz Core 2 Duo processor) and a Mac Pro (4 GB RAM Quad Core configuration with two 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors). The following graphs displays the results in seconds. MacTech did not test multiple processor performance. MacTech found that the faster the physical host computer, the more similarly Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion performed.
