Mac Speed Ratings, v2.0
12/20/1992

Once again, here's a listing of the various Macintosh models, and their
Speedometer 3.11 speed ratings.The columns are straightforward: the Model
name, the CPU speed (in MHz) and type (680-{00/20/30/40}, and the 5 speed
ratings from Scott Berfield's Speedometer utility for 6.0 (mostly 6.0.7) and
7.0.1/7.1. Where more than one set of data was present, they were averaged
in using straight arithmetic mean. The number in () at the end of each line
indicates how many samples were used to generate the number listed.

Data from this run was based on tests from Speedometer 3.10 and 3.11; tests
which flagged as 'possibly incorrect' were not included. Also note that those
systems using v7.1 will have somewhat different results (especially FP) than
will those from v7.0.1, due to the SANE differences.

As you can see, there are still a few  holes in the table. If you have a Mac
which fits one of those holes, I'd greatly appreciate it if you  would run
Speedometer and send the results, either the machine record or the text
summary, to kevin@isi.com, for inclusion in the next version. Similarly, if
you have a Mac which shows only 1 or two samples, additional data to increase
confidence levels would also be appreciated.

Upgraded machines' data is particularly desired. Radius Rockets, Daystar
PowerCache, Fusion, Novy, etc., data would be greatly appreciated. (Somebody
out there must have upgraded a II-series machine; what's the speed look like?)

Thanks to everyone who submitted data, and special thanks to Sterling
Babcock (jdsb@ee.egr.duke.edu) and David Ruby (daver@uiuc.edu) for their
Macintosh Information lists [See those lists for more details about the
various Mac Models], and for getting me started on this one, and of course,
Scott Berfield, for his Speedometer utility itself.
