New MacBook Pro 6,1 on Geekbench!!

Not according to Intel is wasn't. There is a reason it is called a platform. You need all the particular components that are recommended. If you have a political platform, you don't do some of what you claim, you do all of it (ideally).

You linked Wikipedia, not Intel 😉
BTW it's quite ridiculous because we are speaking about "Santarosa", a codename and not an Official model name.
In calling these models "SR" you simply define a specific revision of C2D, bus and chipset, just to highlight the difference between revisions of the same platform.

exactly. "centrino" is a platform. SR was a revision.
 
I will throw up if they release 13" pros with the same speed, just doubled threads and integrated graphics. Call me a megahertz junky, but I want 2.53 as baseline for 13 MBP as repayment for this ridiculously long wait. 🙁

Oh, and if jobs is so cooky these days that he is tearing down Tweets from iPads, would he not tear GeekBench a new *******?

Ridiculous, what if it was double the speed, but only 1ghz clock? You'd be disappointed?

The clock speed battle was lame anyway.
 
Brand new to the Apple brand, but wouldn't Apple have their own way of performing a benchmark test inhouse without the worry about the information being leaked out to the public.

Unless they planned for it to be leaked. Build up the hype through out the Apple community right before a release?

They probably do but this allows them to compare it to literally thousands of like platforms without the investment using a standardized testing protocol.

It's crowdsourced testing.

But Geekbench can be run without publishing the results, right? If they're just doing it for the sake of comparison, that is.

Yep, they could easily just take the final number and compare it to a similar system, but I believe the default has the box checked that uploads the results.
 
I haven't been following all the new Macbook Pro update rumours but does anyone have even any reasonable idea when they are supposed to be coming out or is this all just speculation? Who says this February anyway?

Speculation. The only people that know when a refresh to the MBP line will be released are working at Apple.
 
Not sure if anyone saw this...

Did anyone see the other benchmark test on geekbench of another macbook pro 6.1 with a 1.83... was also done at the beginning of the month with the other one.

nevermind just saw a few threads pages back that someone pointed it out already.

I saw that and I pray it's a hackintosh netbook.

This came up in another thread. Apparently it's very doable, though I haven't read all about it.
