iBench is a synthetic benchmark for the Mac OS X operating system.
iBench is comprised of 21 tests (12 of integer workload and 9 of floating point) of real-world usage that allow you to check and compare the CPU and memory performance of your Mac.
What's New
Version 1.1.2:
Bug fixes:
Solved an error on Core i5 and i7 based iMacs hardware identification.
Known issues:
There is a bug that crashes iBench on the open file panel, please use list or icon view on it instead of columns view to avoid it until is solved.
ok, i got my result, but what does it means? how do i compare it to other macbooks like mine to see how good mine is. or is it just to compare it to my own the next time i do the test?
Yep. Basicly to compare your Macs / different OS X versions.
Also you can compare to friends / at forum postings by saving the result file and share that (zipped).
Until now there is no buildin Website Result submit+compare feature like geekbench has.
Perhaps the dev could do an manual website with bench values of different macs in the future.

Much more reliable + serious than old XBench, because long running + more real world cpu benching.
