Stewart Cheifet is probably the first computer reviewer, in computer chronicles he showed computers from the original Mac, 286, 386, 486, Pentium, Windows 2, 3, 95, XP, Mac OS x.

For example here he benchmarks the original Pentium: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUPNxzLzzMA

I never saw the show when it was on the air, but I watched a lot of the episodes on Archive.org. A really great show and great host!

Man, that brings back a lot of memories. I've still got a 486DX-33 chip sitting on my desk here.

Someone going to run those benchmarks in a VM on a modern machine? 😀
