i ran geekbench on my new mbp, and i wanted to see how good the score was compared to my old ibm x40. boy was i surprised.

MBP

Floating Point Processor floating point performance 4510
Memory Memory performance 2489
Stream Memory bandwidth performance 1933
Geekbench score 3159

IBM X40
Integer Processor integer performance 844

here is the specs on the ibm, intel pentium m 1200mhz, 512mb ram, 40gb hdd

i am shocked on how much better my mbp is. i knew my mac was much better but wow

dude your IBM is probably 3-4 years old? of course your brand new MBP will be 2,3x as fast.

And in other news, cars are said to be heavier than bikes.

It has nothing to do with macs being better. Its the fact you have an old laptop and comparing it with a new one. Of course it will be a lot better.

this is like the news story about people rescuing dolphins - nestled among the stories of murders and airplane crashes.
