New MacBook Pro 6,1 on Geekbench!!

1) Who would currently have a new MBP? Seems like only someone in Cupertino
2) Why would they do a test on this site where people would find it?

That's exactly why this should be taken with a grain of salt; unless this is an intentional leak as an Apple media stunt (doubtful, but I wouldn't put it past them) the person posting this Xbench log would likely lose his job.

What does the Build 10C3067 mean?
Click to expand...

It's an identification of the specific version of the OS. All OS X releases have build numbers - run System Profiler and click on "Software" and you'll see a build number for your current version of OS X. Build 10C3067 is NOT an official release but seeing as build 10C2234 was used on the 27" iMacs in November of 2009 it's possible that build 10C3067 is a non-released internal version of the OS build for running the new laptops.

Here's a list of the build numbers of OS X that were included with various systems over the past few years:

I wouldn't want an i7 in my MacBook; currently they only work when tethered to a power outlet, unless you're fine with a 1 hour battery life. (e.g. there is no mobile version of the i7 yet)

Mobile i7s are out since September 2009. :rolleyes: There was even a second revision in early January.

Can you guys elaborate on your statements and the reasoning behind them? You seem confident in whatever it is you are asserting, but it really is not clear what that is exactly.

Matthew Yohe means that if it's a custom build, then it's not real. I think particularly he believes the 4-digit sequence after the letter is something unusual (OS X releases are [ver][letter][3-digit-number])

zorahk is referring to the fact that Apple HAS shipped 4-digited builds on new machines that needed new drivers not present in the latest OS version.

I'm betting with zorahk: It will ship soon; before 10.6.3; and will be a custom 10.6.2 build due to drivers :p
 
Correction, I meant the Arrandale processors, for which there is currently only a mobile i3 and i5 line.

If Apple wants the latest and greatest in tech odds are Arrandale is their best bet.

Uhhhh, really because what I've seen the Arrandale Core-i7 was released January 7:

Now maybe Intel isn't shipping them to end users or OEMs yet but it's possible that Apple has gotten hold of the chips before others.

My new quad-core i7 iMac had the same build. It's a custom build.
 
I really hope i5 processors are on the lower end 13" models. Most of us never thought apple would go for the i7 because they're obsessed with thinness.
 
Sorry for the caps but some people don't seem to understand

NOT ALL CORE i7 PROCESSORS ARE QUAD CORE.

i7 620M - DUAL CORE
i7 720QM - QUAD CORE
i7 820QM - QUAD CORE
i7 920XM - QUAD CORE

Looks like Apple skipped Clarksfield but that was predicted since way back in the summer of 2009.

Thanks for the info! :)
 
From what I've been able to find this new mystery MacBookPro 6,1 laptop is benchmarking 24% faster than the fastest 32-bit MacBookPro 5,2 (17" 3.06GHz Core2Duo) I could find. I was hoping for 20% boost in performance - if real life systems really are 24% faster than the existing laptops I'll be elated!
