Mac Mini Relative Performance Benchmark
Not saying this is scientific in any way, but I wanted to know how Java on a Mac Mini would perform against Java on my Dell Laptop. I’m considering a Mac Mini as a desktop development box and wanted to know.
I found a little benchmark on the web known as Caffeine Mark which runs on your station as an applet.
I went down to the local Mac Dealer MyMacDealer and they were kind enough to let me run the benchmark on a 1.42GHZ Mac Mini. The Mini scored a CaffeineMark of 10293.
In comparison my 2.4GHZ Dell Inspiron 5100 scored 15282.
As far as I know both machines were running JDK 1.4.2.x.
I’m still considering the Mini, but will have to adjust my performance expectations accordingly.
