Send a request for a performance comparison between any two Macs. "Real World" Tests For timed scores, lower numbers are better. For the CineBench & Game scores higher numbers are better. Of course the higher the percentage, the better the performance.

Processor

CineBench 9.5 consists of a series of tests. This one, tests basic single CPU processing performance. . You can download the CineBench program to run on your own machine and compare scores. We used the 9.5 version of CineBench. The scores above are actual scores ... not timed tests. Higher numbers are better

This is the same test as above, however it will take advantage of Multiple processors if they are present. The scores above are actual scores ... not timed tests. Higher numbers are better

This part of the CineBench program relies on the graphics card for graphics rendering. Download the program and run your own test. This test is highly sensitive to improvements in the software that drives the graphics card.
