So its almost time for me to buy a new machine. I'm checking out the performance specs of the latests MBP on Apple's website and appreciate the comparison graphs they have showing that, for example, Aperture can be up to 1.6x faster than the previous generation.

Now, I am lucky to not have just the previous generation, but a MBP that is close to 5 years old at this point (MBP 2,2). Just out of curiosity, is there a way to estimate my potential gains after purchasing a new computer? An online calculator perhaps?

Thanks,
Alex
 
The 2,2 model had a Core 2 Duo, right?

What are you doing (application-wise) that you would like to compare?

Most likely, your gains will be similar to the charted version. It will be more, not likely materially different than more recent models. There are exceptions.

The Core i7 is significantly more powerful than the Core 2 Duo series.
