Benchmark your Mac
How fast (or slow) is your Mac running, and how does it compare to others?
IT WILL TAKE 30 minutes
YOU WILL LEARN To measure your Mac’s processor and graphics performance
YOU’LL NEED Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, Cinebench, Geekbench
By benchmarking your Mac, you can measure how well it performs. You can test its single-and multi-core processor (CPU) performance, as well as its graphics (GPU) horsepower. You can also check its rendering performance, and how effectively it reads and writes to disk.
Doing so lets you pinpoint problems, check the effectiveness of upgrades and even determine if a potential purchase will be an improvement. Regular benchmarking lets you track your Mac’s performance over time. But different apps do different things.
