My New Penryn MBP!! Geekbench Score (2.4GHz)

Paix247 said:
Just fired up my new 2.4GHz MBP, base model.
Here is my initial Geekbench (32-bit version) score.

I'll be upgrading to 4GB of RAM and taking apart the computer to throw in my 7200RPM drive in the near future.

Overall: 3086

Integer Score: 2660
Floating Point Score: 4315
Memory Score: 2374
Stream: 1708


System info:
Platform Mac OS X x86 (32-bit)

Operating System Mac OS X 10.5.2 (Build 9C2018)

I would be interested in hearing if the hard disk is any easier to upgrade.
 
A little OT but,

My new MacPro did a 10633!!!! It's the #5 machine on the Geekbench 2 Results page.
Pulled 10436 with 667 Mhz ram that was mistakenly put in @ apple, & 320 GB HD.
New test was with 1tb Seagate Barracuda HD as the boot drive & 8 GB 800 mhz Ram.
Conclusion?
I am in HEAVEN!
 
I'm actually kind of surprised that people were expecting some ridiculous speed bump. The 2.4 SR was top of the line processor...comparing it to the new base isn't all that fair. The more fair comparrision is that of the 2.2SR and the new 2.4 Penryn.

Also haven't we known the Penryn speeds for quite some time now? Why is all of this a surprise? I hope this doesn't sound like I am aggravated because I am actually quite happy! I'm ordering my 2.4 Penryn MBP tonight and couldn't be any more happy. The way I look at it is I'm saving $500 for essentially a 2.4 SR but the new Penryns have multi touch trackpad, updated keyboard, anywhere from 15-35 mins more on battery life, should run a bit coolet (65 to 45), and a larger HDD.

This update isn't as bad as everyone is saying! :D
 
What speed are your fans running at idle? At load? Install the istat Pro widget to find out please. Wondering how much cooler these new ones are.
 
I agree: how is the heat?


Also, can you check your display model and comment on the display's characteristics: uniformity of illumination, the infamous lower 1/3 yellowing etc.

You can find the display model number by going to system preferences - displays - color -choose ColorLCD - click on open button on the right and then scroll down to number 13 in the new window that pops up. What does it say under model #?

Thanks!

Yep, Apple Store, Ridgedale Mall :D

I called at 9:59am and asked if they had them in. After getting transfered to a few people I was told that they had them in, but had not had a chance to check them in. I said I'd be there soon for the Base model. He confirmed that they had at least one of them in.

I got there and the person who greeted me was a bit confused, went back to check, and came out to ask me "How did you know about these new MacBook Pros before I did?" HAHA! :):)
I said, "Really? Come on. HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc... had these chips for a while. Its Tuesday, so I was online at 7:00 checking the online store."

Wow, small world. I went to Ridgedale to get mine at around 1:45pm, and the guy that was helping me actually said something like "There was someone in here a bit earlier who got the new one too, he came in asking for it, and at first I didn't know what he was talking about."

At the time I was wondering if it was another MR poster, and figured the chances were pretty good. Well... now I know for sure!
 
Just FYI - my black MacBook SR 2.2GHz Merom = 2895 (32-bit GeekBench 2.0.12)

So if the score of a 2.4GHz MacBook is about 3086 (i.e., similar to the base 2.4GHz MBP), then the difference of 191 points (3086 - 2895) is less than half the difference between published [primatelabs.ca] 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo and 2.0GHz Core Duo scores (2874 - 2411 = 463).

The difference of 200MHz per core was far greater going from 2.0GHz Yonah to 2.2Ghz Merom+800MHz bus than going from 2.2GHz Merom to 2.4GHz Penryn.

I think its a good upgrade all around, but I wont be rushing out to try to exchange my 16-day old 2.2GHz MacBook.

Does all these tests show us that the speed difference on 2.2 ghz and the new 2.4 ghz is'nt that big? I'm just curious, 'cause I'm gonna get a Black Macbook (2.2) this weekend from USA (a freind brings it to me to Denmark) and just wanted to now if I should be "crying" over the new updates. Theres is 4 gb ram in mine Macbook :D

And by the way; what does Geekbench means?

I hate to say it but those numbers are very similar to my MBP SR 2.4 Ghz. Not that much of a speed boost.

cooler laps! that should be a major selling point!

Does anyone think that they next cycle will have a new shell?

Is this GPU not a good one from Nvidia?

The 8600 was a nice video card last year. It's ok now. Most PC vendors are offering mobile 8800s now. And Blu-ray options. And new colorfull case option. Built in 3g options. HMDI and e-sata ports. Hi-res 15 inch screen. For hundreds less. But without OS X. And apple knows it.

Most PC vendors aren't offering any of those things in 1" thin notebooks, assuming they even MAKE 1" thin notebooks.

Like it or not Apple has decided form factor matters. Judging by the fact that their sales are growing far faster than the rest of the PC industry, it seems more and more consumers are making the same decision.

I disagree. Apple is growing but not because of their computers. iPhone and iPod are the main reasons. Apple could be doing alot better if they just got up off their arse and made a real laptop.

Wow, how wrong is this post? Check out Apples gain in laptop marketshare over the past few years.

I'm also curious how the new Penryn models heat up. I cooked breakfast this morning on my 17" SR MBP :p
