The only app I had running was Finder and Geekbench (obviously). Not quite sure what to make of the results. Any body want to chime in?

Of course it scores that high, that's a freakin' Quad-core processor.

True, but I spent about $1000 for this computer in mid-2006, and could have instead gotten an iMac (at a slightly higher price) that would run at around 2337.

The iMac Core Duo started off at US$1,299.

It's not still not identical hardware.

It's a little depressing Apple didn't go with the P8400 (2.26 GHz) for the low end model.

We're using Montevina P Series Penryn processors now.

I think I'm right in saying Geekbench doesn't test the GPU.

Heres the results of my 2.4Ghz

http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/81724

I'm installing my 7200rpm drive a little later (if I can find a screw small enough!)

Will post back with updated results.

[Ryffie]

So after comparing the results it seems the 2.4 has a nice speed advantage, but is it enough to justify the price gap? I think it's a matter of preference but either way you really can't go wrong. Both machines are stunning.

There shouldn't be any appreciable change since Geekbench doesn't test the hard drive.

Seems pretty similar to my 2.4 alu iMac

Looks like the 2GB of DDR3 outperforms my 4GB of DDR2 if I am reading correctly (not an expert by any means)

It is synthetic but I highly doubted Apple's it's 5x faster then other IGPs.

Actually the Macbooks with x3100 was at around 6-700 .

I've gotten 846. *shrug*

I always use Intel's latest drivers on the MacBook.

[krypticos]

here is my geekbench!!! For late 2007 model i figured it would be worse an what it was. im kind of HAPPY that the performance is not that much better than mine. i just got it a few months ago and did not want to have to upgrade to the new one dont have the money to. lol

[Nistilian]

My 2001 PC desktop, P4 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM, Geekbenches at about 770 with nothing running. I know I'm way overdue to upgrade. I'll be buying a MacBook shortly; I just want to see what happens at the WWDC.
