I suggest posting here a list of benchmark programs with which you can measure the power of computers with macOS or, for example, compare the performance of macOS and Windows or different versions of macOS if several different operating systems are installed on your computer.

As well as a list of programs with which you can track all possible indicators of your computer's components - processor, graphics card, HDD, SSD, coolers, and so on - will be in a separate topic.

Also share your results or links to the results in the test run in these synthetic tests.

I remind you that the results should be the most reliable, before starting the benchmark test, it is advisable to terminate all unnecessary programs, for example by clicking on them in the Dock and selecting "Finish", and it is better to restart the computer altogether and wait 5 minutes until it finishes background startup processes after startup and then start testing.

Here's what I found:

Tables with the results of different tests in different Macs:
https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks
https://www.macgamerhq.com/hardware/can-i-run-it-mac/
https://github.com/devMEremenko/XcodeBenchmark

P.S.
There are still different tests and benchmarks for the speed of compilation and assembly in different projects by different compilers and different IDEs, or for example, the speed of encoding or transcoding video into different formats, but these, in my opinion, are already highly specialized tests for a separate topic.
