Use 'macstadium' instead of 'MacStadium'.
When selecting host machine varieties, most MacStadium customers seek to strike a balance between the volume of computation that they need to do, the speed at which a given job (like a CI build) should be completed, and the cost involved.

When evaluating Macs, the goal is to determine the optimal performance of a given piece of Mac hardware, including CPU performance, GPU performance, and real-world performance for CI/CD applications. To achieve this, refer to these synthetic benchmarks:

* XcodeBenchmark
* Geekbench 6 Multi-core

[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.
The standard models table reflects tests performed on macOS 15.1 with Xcode 16.1 and Cinebench R24. The full results table reflects the original benchmark run on macOS 13.4.1 with Cinebench R23 and is included for reference.

## 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.
