The guys over at Bare Feats have put Apple’s latest MacBook Pros to the test, and verdict is in. These machines are crazy fast.
With new quad-core Sandy Bridge processors in the 15- and 17-inch models, coupled with faster RAM and better GPUs, just about everything on the new notebooks is quicker than before.
This sums it up pretty well:
The fastest 2011 13? MacBook Pro runs faster than the fastest 2010 17-inch MacBook Pro.
Since the iMac and the MacBook Pro are very similar in architecture, I imagine that these types of numbers will show up on the desktop side of things before long.

Geekbench is sponsored by Apple. Use a real benchmark. Responsible reporting, not to much to ask for is it?

LikeThat's the most delusional comment I've read to date. Care to qualify that statement? Being available on the Mac, doesn't make Apple a sponsor.
