Could someone please post some benchmark comparison between the new and old 13" MBP.

Please ignore this comment!!
 
I found these on geekbench. And as someone who has waited for a 13: MBP refresh for over 5 months - IT HURTS.

This is the late 2008 model with 2.4GHZ
http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/237939
Score 3635

This is the latest MBP 13
http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/237834
Score 3360

Someone please correct me if im reading this wrong.

Both machines have the EXACT same processor. The only reason there is a score bump in the 2008 model is because that user was running GeekBench in 64-bit mode.

The real performance gains will be in the GPU and battery life for the 2010 13".

I believe that was from the guy that just got his 13" a couple of threads down.

The scores would probably be the same if GeekBench had been run in 64-bit for the 13".
 
Oh i would want to see that. I thought that the geekbench scores took into consideration the GPU capabilities as well.

But guys, Im new to apple, but i cant stop wondering " How do you guys not get frustrated with Apple". How can you put up with this using of CPUs used in a 2008 model again in the 2010 model. Its just preposterous.

They had no choice. It was either a C2D with a better GPU or an i3 with a worse GPU.

But there are better C2D's available. And who stopped them from making some changes t the board and adding a discrete GPU.
All said and done, if nothing was possible they could have at least lowered the prices a bit. We all know charging 1499 for the high end is not at all justified.
