Reason for Intel Mac

ついにReasonのIntel版がリリースされるらしい(あ、まだベータテストか)。

ちなみに、Universal Binaryではないとのこと。
3.0.4がPowerPC版で今度出る3.0.5がIntel版だとか。

What - No Universal Binary?によると:

A Universal Binary actually contains two compiled applications, one for PPC and one for Intel. To create a Universal Binary, Propellerhead would need to use Apple's XCode compiler for both the PPC and Intel versions of the program. By contrast, the shipping version of Reason for PPC computers (version 3.0.4) is compiled with Motorola's CodeWarrior compiler. Unfortunately, our internal performance testing shows that compiling Reason for PPC using Apple's XCode compiler creates a significantly slower program than the shipping 3.0.4 version that we have today. For this reason we have decided to keep the two versions separate for the time being.

While this creates a small inconvenience in that user's have to manually determine which version is the right one to install, this is by far outshined by the advantages of having maximum performance.

We are currently working together with Apple to increase the performance of the PPC version of Reason compiled with XCode.

よーするに、PPC版はこれまでCodeWarriorで作ってたんだけど、Xcodeに持って行ってUniversal Binary化したアプリをPPCで実行すると、現行のPPC版よりもパフォーマンスが出なかったと。プラットフォームによってバイナリが別々に存在するのはPropellerheadとしても不本意だけれど、まずはパフォーマンスを優先したという事でしょうがないよね。ロゼッタで動かすとPPC G3程度のパフォーマンスだったらしいから。
最後に書いてあるけど、PPCでもパフォーマンスが出せるよう、Appleと協力してるとのこと。
うん、がんばっちくれい。
そうですか、そうですか、CodeWarriorでしたか。
