MacBook Pro Benchmarks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-surprises-here dept.

jfpoole writes "Geek Patrol has benchmarked a MacBook Pro and a PowerBook G4 using Geekbench, their benchmarking utility. It's impressive to see how well the MacBook Pro performs compared to the PowerBook G4 (at least when it comes to Universal Binary performance)." Their benchmarks aren't particularly surprising, and they lack the most important benchmark: Frames Per Second during Molten Core Combat (or as it is more commonly referred to since I made it up 5 seconds ago, the FPSDMCCMark, which is the only number I'm waiting for).

    Molten Core? L2BWL, Noob.

    (No, while I play WoW, I'm not actually a raider, but if Blizzard is allowed to condescendingly put L2BWL in a video they distribute about it, I can condescendingly put it in a slashdot post ;) )

    ...it seems all too likely that the next rev will include legacy bios support...

    Really? Where'd you hear that? Because that would make a lot of sense, building a totally new legacy-free laptop just like Macs have been for years (ADB excepted :P) and then going back for Rev B and putting the legacy crap in. Yeah, that really makes sense.

    Idiot.
