current	12:32, 8 July 2025	512 × 210 (59 KB)	David Fuchs	Reverted to version as of 13:57, 20 February 2025 (UTC) the current chart makes no difference between the Intel and G5 models, and they're inherently minor, same with the retina and 2012 models. This is a more useful chart by collapsing duplicates
