Clarksfield Q720 MBP11,1 on Geekbench. Prototype?

[MacDannny]

just looked at geekbench and saw this
http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/242194

it says macbook pro 11,1 quadcore, with Q720 processor.

im not really into what all this stuff means, but did i just stumble accross something big?


thanks to the guy below, for pointing out its clarksfield, title changed to reflect this 😉

You pretty much did. That's still i7 (Clarksfield) but it's not currently used in MBPs. Could be just a prototype from Apple to test Clarksfield in MBPs, but who knows?

cool. its got a bit of a sh*tty score though, less than the 2.4 i5

 

[shoppy]

Running in 32bit mode though, score would go up in 64bit mode.

Oh No...
Here starts the "Im Waiting For Clarksfield Part xx" threads.

There are plenty of "I'm waiting for Sandy Bridge" threads 😛

Oh.

Dag Nabbit!

Now I must cancel my i7 MBP order, and join the thread. LOL.

It seems that it is a never ending waiting game with technology and i am a hypocrite because i am part of that waiting game. 😀

That's true 😎

After Sandy Bridge, it's only couple of months for mobile ATI 6xxx series and OS X 10.7 and only a year till Ivy Bridge and less than two years for Haswell and DDR4 is coming in 2012, SSDs are getting bigger, new GPUs from nVidia... 😀

thought people would be a little more interested in this, especially with the 11,1 code. maybe the change to double figures is meaning a big update next time round, possibly 'to the next level' 😱

It's a hackintosh. Look at the BIOS (really the EFI) date. MBP51.88Z.00C1.B03.0802271651. February 27, 2008. They just took the smbios.plist file of a 5th gen MBP and modified it.

And it still scores lower than the i5 540 @ 2.53GHz. So much for quad-core.

 

[cluthz]

4.7k score in 32 bit, that's par with the i5@2.40Ghz

8 cores!!!!!:O Man,you may have came across something,that Apple didn't expect to be found.Why did they publish it though?You don't have too with geekbench.Maybe it's a top secret leak. 😀

 

[Sneakz]

Calm down. Its not 8 cores. Geekbench recognizes hyper threading as cores sometimes. Its 4 cores, 8 threads. Notice how the Core i5/i7 MBPs appear as 4 cores?

And again, its a hackintosh.
