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).

    This article might have pushed me over the edge. But since the server was slashdotted before it even it that main page I never got the chance. Guess I'll have to stick with WinTel hardware now.

    It is really sad to watch the Mac community desperately keep coming up with these 'see! we were'nt given the boot by IBM. we WANTED to change to x86' benchmark stories.

    I don't know what the hell you guys are going to be like when Apple dumps the x86 hardware and goes software only. Don't act surprised, you know it's coming...
