I posted this over in the MacBook Pro board but I think they're too busy about gamma and turnover at ad agencies. 
If anyone is curious I got 6096 in 3DMark06 for my new unibody (highest-end MacBook Pro). This is in Windows 7, Boot Camp drivers, default settings. This is pretty respectable, and damn respectable in terms of the size and weight of the device. It's also in line with the benchmarks for the 9600 at http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html It's actually a little above it (they rate it at 5000).

By the way, if anyone is curious I switched down to 9400 on the Mac side and performance was fine. More importantly, though, I squeezed about 6 hours of battery life doing regular stuff (internet, playing music, word processing, some programming, etc). I've seen this in some netbooks but very few devices of this size without a huge extra battery strapped to the back.
