Comparing your Mac’s raw performance with other Macs

The benchmark is a PowerMac G5 1.6GHz at 1000 points, measured using GeekBench. You can switch between 32-bit and 64-bit performances.

My late 2007 2.2GHz MacBook scored 3281 for 64bit performance, just 50 points ahead of the same speed MacBook Pro released earlier in the same year, which means it’s just over three times more powerful than the baseline PowerMac G5. The base model 2011 MacBook Air with Core i5 though, scored 4988, nearly five times more powerful.
