Well, we would really like to think so but GeekBench is hardly a place where you verify things and use it as a proof. However, if these are indeed the benchmark results of a new built of MacBook Pros, they are pretty darn good! And besides, the MacBook Pros are quite overdue for a upgrade anyway. I am talking about the 15 inch and 17 inch models of course. And if this is it, boy are we in for a treat.
This is supposed to be the new model because the internal naming of 6,1 for a MacBook Pro doesn’t exist yet. This signifies a major shift in the whole line up.
The benchmark is shows the chip as a dual core Arrandale chip that was released by Intel at CES 2010 only last month or so. This is the 2.66GHz Core i7 620mM chip that has everyone chirping along excitedly about how fast the new MacBooks Pros can be. And the performance boos is obvious (given that this is a genuine benchmark). Whilst the models in the current line up score in between 3700-4000 (so says Matt from Gizmodo), this one is over 5200, which is a noticeable boost.
The one thing that the benchmark doesn’t show is the graphics on this new model and we are all waiting to know about that. The update to newer chip is more or less certain though.
