Apple Mac PowerPC G3, G4 & G5 Benchmarks (Geekbench 2)

As requested by readers, average Geekbench 2 results submitted to the Primate Labs website for each PowerPC G3, G4, and G5-powered Mac -- all eMac, iBook, PowerBook G3, PowerBook G4, Power Mac G3, Power Mac G4, and Power Mac G5 models as well as many iMac, Mac mini, and Xserve systems -- are below.

Individual user-submitted results vary, but an average provides the relative performance of different Macs. The Geekbench 2.0 benchmark provides 32-bit performance results for all models and 64-bit performance results for PowerPC G5-based systems, too (in parenthesis when available). Higher numbers are better.

Geekbench results also are provided on EveryMac.com's specs pages for G3 and newer Macs and within the Ultimate Mac Comparison feature. The Ultimate Mac Comparison allows for dynamic side-by-side comparison of Geekbench results for different systems.

Special thanks to Primate Labs for all the hard work developing the excellent Geekbench benchmarking tool. Please show your support by purchasing a copy of the software.
