Mac OS X 10.8 Benchmarks Performance benchmarks of Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion using the Developer Preview 1 build 12A128p. Testing being done from a 2011 Apple Mac Mini with Intel Sandy Bridge processor. This is still some early Mac OS X 10.8 benchmarking of performance with more coming once OS X 10.8 is officially released in summer of 2012.
