Mac Tests

I ran every current Mac through the same real-world tests, so you can skip the spec sheet and see how they actually compare.

About These Tests

This page compares 20 Macs I’ve tested myself, from the MacBook Neo up to the M5 Max Mac Studio, all run through the same tests. It covers Geekbench 6, Geekbench 7 and Geekbench AI, Cinebench 2024 and 2026, on-device AI (LM Studio and DiffusionBee), disk speed, Blackmagic RAW, Final Cut Pro exports, Logic Pro, Lightroom Classic, Blender and Xcode build times. Results load live from my test sheet, so new Macs show up as soon as I test them.
