The scores below are from MacBench 5.0. MacBench 5.0 is a subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a Mac's processor, disk, and graphics subsystems to name a few. The base machine receives a score of 1000. For all MacBench tests, higher numbers mean better performance. Be aware that MacBench 5.0 was released before the G4 and AltiVec hit the scene and, consequently, does not take advantage of, or reclines, the extra instruction set.
