Back in November Apple released updated MacBooks and MacBook Pros, which the Mac performance chart from August is now somewhat out of date. I've finally found some time to sit down and re-generate the chart to include the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
Setup
Results were collected from Geekbench 2 for Mac OS X running on Macs with standard processors (i.e., no processor upgrades or overclocked processors) and at least 512MB of RAM.
I’ve reported the average overall score for each model and processor combination, where 1000 is the score a Power Mac G5 @ 1.6GHz would receive. Higher scores are better. Keep in mind that Geekbench 2 only measures processor and memory performance which is why, for example, MacBook and MacBook Pro scores are so similar, despite both having radically different graphics adapters.
