April 2010 MBP Benchmarks from Primate Labs

What people have been asking me, though, is whether they should get the i5 or the i7 MacBook Pro. Personally, I think the low-end i5 is more than sufficient for most tasks (it’s about 15% slower but costs 25% less). Granted, it’s got less drive space and less video card memory but it’s still zippy. If, however, you want the fastest MacBook Pro available then go ahead and get an i7; you are paying a premium for the performance but at least it’s not a steep premium!

Personally, if I were to buy a new MacBook Pro today, I’d get one with an i5 processor and spend the money I saved on upgrading the RAM to 8GB.

10% gain over my old Macbook (Late 2007). 🙄

I'll keep adding to the MacBook Pro fund.
