Wow, my MBP only gets 123 on Xbench...

try it without the hd test
macpros do not get 9000 in xbench, maybe you are thinking of geekbench scores

Oh! Yeah, I am. What's the difference though?
Did it without the Disk test. It's even lower now! Dx

Wow, results is 205 points!! I've seen a 2.66ghz mac pro score 185~
And I've been running my mbp for 6 hours straight now d/ling alot of files and extracting 9gb files.
Oh... well that looks a little better... It seems to be around the mid-end as far as MBPs go though...

Yeah, but that's because your Disk data is insanely fast. O_O

I just installed the istat pro and looked at the SSD drives temperature... at 0 degrees~!!!
they are just different benchmarking utilities. i like geekbench more as xbench is not reliable from my experience (same machine gets pretty different scores on different runs and same setups but different physical machines will not score the same)
lol i was confused by that too. op, your scores improved by quite a bit by not including the hd
which really shows when my hackintosh scores a 214 in xbench with it being quad core and all lol
how is it more accurate if it doesnt even test more than one core for example among other issues i have with xbench?
another good benchmark app is cinebench
If what you say is true, that means the same goes for every single multicore machine thus making them accurate.
Like the mac pro will only test 1 core, the macbook will test 1 core, macbook pro will run 1 core and etc.
which means a quad core 2.4ghz will score the same as a single core 2.4ghz which would score the same as a octo core at 2.4 ghz in terms of processor scores
how is that accurate at all if you dont take the entire performance of the machine?
Just ran this for fun on my 2.8 Octo-core mac pro.
Geekbench 32bit:
Geekbench 64bit
I ran Xbench and got 185 with Hard drive test included(On a 10k Raptor drive), and 240 without the hard drive test.

SSD (Solid State) hard drives dont have any temperature because theres no moving parts or current resistance to create heat, theyre basically glorified thumb sticks (memory sticks) so of course they wont get hot.
so explain why my thumb drives get warm lol
doesnt have any temperature eh? even if that were true, which it isnt by the way, dont you think itd be at least ambient temp and not 0 deg C lol
just because there are no moving parts doesnt mean energy and thus heat arent needed/outputted
Your memory stick (thumb drive) gets warm because the computer has to send electrical energy from the USB port into the usb stick so you can send/recieve data from it. This electrical current recieves resistance before going into the memory chip in the stick, however the actual memory chip, which is a SSD has no electrical resistance due to the data being stored in a block based wear leveling system and therefore no heat is generated.
And i meant that the solid state drive in the Macbooks doesnt generate any heat, of course its going to match any ambient temperature.
so in other words, an ssd drive uses electricity and thus generates heat when used lol. on a side note, a hdd doesnt generate any heat either if no electricity is powering it!
there is electrical resistance in ssd drives as well, they arent super conductors you know.
Either way, I've been heavily using my mbp for 9 hours now straight and the left palm rest is very very cool to touch, feels like there is no hdd in the left palm rest area! Finally awesome!

and by your benchmark numbers, seems to be well worth it performance wise too!
