To achieve this, refer to these synthetic benchmarks: * XcodeBenchmark * Geekbench 6 Multi-core * Geekbench 6 Compute * Cinebench R23 [Read the blog post for a complete description of the benchmarking process](https://www.macstadium.com/blog/choosing-your-mac-with-macstadiums-benchmarks) **Benchmark Results** All tests performed on macOS 13.4.1, unless otherwise specified. ## Benchmarking Baseline This machine is used as the baseline when referencing multipliers. In other words, a machine with a multiplier of 1.4x is 40% more performant than the baseline machine for the specified test. Multipliers are shown below the raw score in each cell. | Name | CPU | Xcode | GB6 CPU | GB6 GPU | CB R23 | RAM | SSD | Mac Model | | ---- | ---------- | -------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------ | ----------------- | ---- | --- | --------- | | G5L | M1
