There are no graphs, how is this a benchmark?

3 comments

Why does a graph define a "benchmark"? A table of data is equivalent to a graph. He only has four datapoints anyway, and the deltas are so small that a graph would be deceptive.

BTW a literal mark on a bench is just that.

I haven't even thought about graphs, I just called 'benchmark' the output of time(1).
What is the OS?
macOS.
That's Mac OS.

Mac OS -> Mac OS X -> OS X -> macOS.

Apple changed to macOS to follow watchOS, iOS.
