Jun 26, 2016 2:19 AM in response to Thermaltake868by K Shaffer,A few links to possible test source information appear in this search result, among others:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=benchmark+tests+for+Mac+computer+&t=ffsb&ia=web
From past looking, some of these likely may simply present archival information on models
and not actually provide tests that you can perform yourself on your own Mac configuration.
This one suggests it has a free software; and I have never heard of them before:
The geekbench 3 for Mac app starts at $9.99 online, and up. I've accidentally downloaded
that one while mousing over; so into the trash it goes. Wasted bandwidth is costly here.
Some of results in the duckduckgo search go to reviews that are out of date; slow to load.
{Be wary of clicking on any links in the resulting search pages, see if a mouse-over can tell
what the name of the item/icon may really be. And hope for the best to avoid adware or other
files that could be manipulated to contain bogus or tainted content.}
Sorry to not have an exact answer for your question.
And the time here is early AM Sunday, near 1:20 AKDT.
Good luck in any event!

Jun 26, 2016 3:23 AM in response to Thermaltake868by woodmeister50,For general performance testing, you can get Geekbench in the MacApp Store for $9.99
(safest place to get it other than vendor themselves).
Also in the MacApp Store, a free app, Blackmagic Disk Speed Test, can be used to test
disk access performance for internal and any connected drive, SSD or HDD.
For actual operation parameters there is always Activity Monitor found in Applications->Utilities.
Another app which I have is iStat Menus which can display real time info in the menu bar
for temps, disk access, network access, cpu, memory usage, etc.
And just as an aside, never download apps from anywhere but the MacApp Store or directly
from the app vendors themselves. Downloading from anywhere else could end up with at
minimum annoying adware piggybacked or at worse, outright malware, trojans, etc.

pages directly; also the results of a search engine can give in more information
if you are selective and can tell fact from fiction, than the App Store features.
Geekbench 3 - Cross-Platform Processor Benchmark
This ^ is the link to one of the http://www.primatelabs.com/ products at retail cost.
The others that are via third party download sites can be highly suspect by nature.
If you haven't a newer model computer and instead are running an OS X older than
Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and not using the App Store, you'd be looking via search and
avoid the unavailable App Store by default. I'm running OS X 10.5.8 now in PPC G4.
Good luck & happy computing!
