Mac OS System MacBench 4.0 (CD)
Description
MacBench 4.0 is a subsystem-level benchmark that measures the performance of a Mac OS system's graphics, disk, processor, FPU, video, and CD-ROM subsystems.
MacBench normalizes all scores relative to the base machine, a Power Macintosh 6100/60. The base machine receives a score of 100 MacBench 4.0 units on the main tests. For all MacBench tests, bigger numbers mean better performance .
MacBench's new Graphics technology reproduces the graphics operations performed by leading Mac OS business and publishing applications, affording you a better-than-ever measure of your PC's graphics subsystem. MacBench runs the following main tests that provide an overview of a system's graphics, disk, processor, FPU, and CD-ROM subsystems performance:
Processor Floating Point Unit Disk Graphics CD-ROM
Along with its market-centered tests, MacBench also includes Publishing Disk and Publishing Graphics tests (the latter in both low and high resolution formats) that reproduce the specialized activity of more demanding applications.
A new addition to MacBench are full-motion video tests that measure a Mac OS system's video subsystem performance. You can even have MacBench play a movie file of your choice.

Features
When Ziff-Davis publications review Mac OS system performance, they usually compile results from the following MacBench tests:
The Processor test, which measures raw processing power and is a good indicator of a computer’s overall speed.
The Floating Point test, which measures the speed of floating-point operations, which is important for scientific calculation and 3D rendering.
The Disk test, which measures hard?disk performance and the speed of disk?intensive operations as performed by 11 popular business applications. The Publishing Disk test replays the disk subsystem activity we recorded for our two profiled publishing applications.
The Graphics test, which measures the graphics card and monitor performance as performed by 11 popular business applications.
The Publishing Graphics tests replay the graphics subsystem activity we recorded for our two profiled publishing applications.
The CD-ROM test, which measures CD-ROM drive performance and shows you how fast the drive can perform large searching and reading operations. The CD-ROM test replays the CD?ROM subsystem activity we recorded for five profiled applications.
