Performance Comparison Of Discontinued
and Miscelaneous Models -1996
The graphs below represent a performance comparison between
different Mac and Mac Clone models that are now discontinued
or were released some time ago. Testing was done using MacBench.
Results from version 4.0 cannot be accurately compared to
result from earlier versions of MacBench. MacBench profiles
popular software programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Word 6.0
and QuarkXpress among a variety of others and applies these
profiles to the various subsystems being tested. See this
description
of what MacBench tests and how. Longer bars equals faster
performance. Models tested were for the most part base models
as shipped from supplier. For detailed information on configurations
either download the MacBench software or email me.
