Submission + - New MacBook Dual Core 2 Benchmarks
ApolloX writes: New Macworld Benchmarks are now available, from the article:
"Like the iMac before it, Apple's MacBook Pro underwent an upgrade highlighted by a chip swap — the Core Duo processor that used to power Apple's pro laptop is gone, replaced by the next-generation Core 2 Duo. And as with our iMac benchmarks, these updated Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro models show a modest performance gain when compared to older systems running on Core Duo chips with the same clock speeds."
As expected, the new 15-inch Intel Dual Core 2 (2.33Ghz/2GB RAM) is the new king of apple portables, with results for the 17-inch model still pending.
