Xbench 1.0 released
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
January 28th 2003
Yet another app is forming the basis for a community of Mac enthusiasts
Spiny has announced the release of the first full version of its Xbench benchmarking
tool. After extensive beta testing, this "comprehensive Macintosh benchmarking
utility" is useful for comparing the relative speeds of two different Macs and also
for optimizing performance on a single machine.
New features in this first non-beta release include model and CPU-Version detection,
as well as more reliable cache reporting on upgraded machines. Spiny lists a number of
bug fixes too.
The Xbench website lists thousands of user-submitted benchmark test results that
graphically displayed, side-by-side for easy comparison.
Editor's note: A with so-many Mac applications, iCal is a prime example, the community
that's developing around Xbench is at least half the benefit. Benchmark the
most-important productivity tool you'll ever own (your Mac) and post the results ?
here.
