2016 15" MBPs GeekBench SLOWER than 2015s

[jbregar]

So, I just noticed the 2016 MBPs have started showing up in the GeekBench Mac Benchmark list... and surprisingly, they're SLOWER.

The 2016 2.9GHz BTO option machine GeekBenches at 13,321 which is about the same as the 2015 2.5GHz stock machine. The 2.8GHz BTO 2015 is in the list twice at 13,928 and 13,771.

Even the 2013 and 2014 BTO options (2.6GHz and 2.8GHz respectively) top the 2016 2.9GHz.

Wonder if it's a weird outlier result that made it into the table or if these things have some kind of thermal issue that's causing throttling.
