Mac Benchmarks > PowerBook G3 Benchmarks
Update Published April 7, 2026
Geekbench 2 benchmark averages for all compatible PowerBook G3 models are listed below (1999-2001). Earlier PowerBook G3 models are not compatible with any version of Geekbench.
EveryMac.com diligently has hand compiled -- and independently averaged -- these Geekbench benchmarks from aggregate user results submitted to Primate Labs for each PowerBook G3. This data is unique to the EveryMac.com website.
Via a combination of our own custom algorithm for automated analysis and manual human review, benchmark results that are significant outliers, inaccurately tagged, not running the macOS, or otherwise errant are omitted prior to calculating an average. For many models, EveryMac.com runs Geekbench software directly on one or more devices, too.
On compatible PowerBook G3 models, the Geekbench 2 benchmark provides 32-bit performance using all processor cores. Subsequent versions of Geekbench are not supported. Higher numbers are better.
Geekbench benchmarks also are provided on EveryMac.com's specs pages for all PowerBook G3 models and within the Ultimate Mac Comparison feature.
