The graphs below represent a performance comparison between discontinued Mac models and Mac clones that were available in early 1996. Testing was done using MacBench 3.0 with results. Results from version 3.0 cannot be accurately compared to result from other versions of MacBench. 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.
Here In cases where there is more than one version of a model shipped the attributes of the model tested are given. All other machines were tested with 32K disk cache. It is important to keep these differences in mind when assessing and comparing Disk Mix and Publishing Disk Mix scores.
