So as some of you are aware, I purchased the new MacBook pro 5.1.  It is a sexy machine.  Now I never thought about this previously, but I’d like to compare this model to my previous one, the MacBook Pro 4.1. Starting with the MacBook Pro 4.1:

MacBook Pro 4.1:
CPU – intel i7 620M 2.66 Ghtz Arrandale with 4 MB on-chip L3 cache
               Scored a 2786 on the passmark benchmark test
GPU – nVidia GeForce GT 330M with 512MB of GDDR3 SDRAM
               Scored a 489 on the G3D Benchmark Test
RAM – 4 GB of 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM
Screen – 15″
Storage – 500GB @ 5400 rpm

So that was my first mac, not a bad first impression… until…

MacBook Pro 5.1:
CPU – Intel i7 2720QM 2.2 Ghtz Sandy Bridge with 6 MB on-chip L3 cache
               Scored7186 on the passmark benchmark test
GPU – AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1 GB GDDR5  SDRAM
               Scored a 1119 on the G3D Benchmark Test
RAM – 4GB of 1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM
Screen – 15″
Storage – 750GB @ 5400 rpm

Pretty damn good lads!    Well this time I was smart enough to use Boot Camp to put Windows on the machine, so I can enjoy the PC Games outside of work.

    I’m on a 15″ Macbook Pro (5.1) typing this, and the you seem to have the spec wrong.
    It’s got dual Nvidia 9400 / 9600 graphics and the CPU is certainly not i7, or i5 or even i3..
    it is Intel, but only core 2 duo. There are slight variations to this spec though.
