New MacBook Pro 6,1 on Geekbench!!

[Max(IT)]

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.

Right, unless he wanted that to get out.

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.

Or it was just an Apple employee wanting to be the guy who leaked it.

I don't think they are going to design a new cpu just for a new revision of the MBP lineup

 

[kdum8]

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?

Of course they aren't. I was obviously giving an example to make a point.

So we should see an i3 13.3" MBP soon?

I hope we don't see less than i5 in any new MBP.

Speculation. The only people that know when a refresh to the MBP line will be released are working at Apple.

And suffice it to say they're not talking for fear of castration at the hands of "The Steve."

Yup

 

[FMD:.]

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.

The problem with that is it says the mother board is apple manufactured. how can you fake that?

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

interesting...so certain pc computers will run osx? i heard about that years ago but did not know newer comps could aswell.

Uh, yeah. I'm typing on one now.
