Definition
性能 (xìngnéng) refers to the technical performance of a machine, device, or system — how well it functions (e.g., speed, power). This is different from 表现 (biǎoxiàn), which describes a person's behavior or performance in an activity, and 绩效 (jìxiào), which is work-related results and efficiency.
