Welcome to the Primate Labs' Mac Benchmark chart, a carefully crafted compilation of Mac performance that's generated from user-submitted Geekbench results on the Geekbench Result Browser.
This chart was last updated on 4 March 2010 and added the following Macs:
Results were collected from the Geekbench Result Browser for Macs with standard processors (i.e., no processor upgrades, overclocked processors, or Hackintoshes) with at least 512MB of RAM.
I've reported the average overall score for each model and processor combination. If you're unfamiliar with Geekbench and how it measures performance, a score of 1000 is the score a Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz would receive. Higher scores are better.
Also, keep in mind that Geekbench 2 only measures processor and memory performance which is why, for example, MacBook and MacBook Pro scores are so similar, despite both having radically different graphics adapters.
