dhrystone Benchmark for Mac

User Reviews

• Out of date benchmark - 32 bit only

  pnkearnsDecember 30, 2010

  Pros

  Easy to use.

  Cons

  All Macs with Intel CPUs are 64-bit. Anyone using OS/X 10.6 is 100% 64-bit. Dhrystone 1.0 is a 32-bit only benchmark. Anyone using this will get a 32-bit Drystone 1.0 result number that is roughly 2x the size of 64-bit Dhrystone 2.1 numbers.

  Summary

  This is useful only if you want to compare your modern Mac with one from about 5 years or more ago. We need Dhrystone 2.1 (64 bit Dhrystone) for Mac.
