Has anybody run some benchmark (like xBench or Cinebench 2003) in the new PB 1.67?. it would be interesting to see what's perfomance gain with that ugly 167MHZ speedbump
 
Xbench is a joke. It does not benchmark anything in regards to real world speed. It is woefully innacurate as well not to mention oudated as it has not seen any major update in about 2 years. The Score system it uses produces almost meaningless numbers. Xbench cannot account for Dual Processor Performance, Can't even identify Hardware specs accurately, cannot give any meaningful GPU scores etc etc.

Wait for Xlr8yourmac.com, MacSpeedzone.com, or Barefeats.com to post more accurate realworld benchmarks.
