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).

    Troll? Too soon to bring back that cliche, huh. Maybe we need an "Unfunny" mod.

    And here come the WoW nerds, which account for most of the /. readers(not me, I play EQ) saying WoW is the TRUE benchmark. Seriously, EQ for OS X and WoW for OS X seem like the best benchmarks to me, go for it, but I don't care.
