MacRumors : Mac News and Rumors — Mac News Primate Labs publishes new benchmark tests comparing the new MacBook (Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (Late 2008) to their predecessors. These benchmarks measure both processor and memory performance but do not appear to measure graphics capabilities (GPUs) which should be clearly improved in the new machines.

Here’s how I’m currently leaning: The 2.1″ price-leader MacBook is a bit like warmed-over lasagna from the night before - delicious the first time around, but now a leftover. The new MacBooks are nice pieces of work, except I don’t think I can live happily without FireWire at this point. That leaves the refurb. last-gen.

Now that I’ve got results for the high-end MacBook Pro I thought I’d revisit MacBook Pro performance to see how the high-end MacBook Pro compares against the last two generations of MacBook Pros.
