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
3.0. 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. For detailed information on configurations visit
