Novabench
Novabench is a free benchmarking and system testing tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It measures performance across CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and network components using workloads designed for modern hardware, then compares results against millions of validated benchmarks in its database. The app also includes real-time system monitoring for temperatures and power draw, configurable stress tests for stability validation, and network speed testing. It is widely used by PC builders, system administrators, and power users who want to verify hardware performance or diagnose system issues.

1 suggestionNovabench has shipped a native Apple Silicon build since at least version 6.0 (released April 2026), and the official download page at novabench.com now distributes a Universal Binary for macOS that runs natively on M-series Macs. The simplest way to get the native version is to download the current installer directly from novabench.com/download — the site will automatically serve the Universal Binary on Apple Silicon Macs. If you already have an older Intel-only copy running under Rosetta, simply download and install the latest version from the same page; your benchmark history and settings will be preserved. You will see noticeably better performance and lower CPU usage during testing compared to the Intel build under Rosetta emulation.
