[QUOTE="rufusryker, post: 627445, member: 52467"] riverteeth, Those Cnet benchmarks are complete nonsense and NOT consistent with other benchmarks on these machines. By the way, the new 2.5 ghz (penryn) MacBook Pro is NOT being compared to the NEW 2.4 ghz penryn version in those CNET charts. It is being compared to previous benchmark results from the last generation 2.4 ghz merom chip macbook pros. (Look at the system specs listed below the chart.) Clearly, battery life would NOT be better for the 2.5 over the 2.4, it would be slightly worse. Either way, those benchmark results are way off, and the CNET folks are simply too stupid to recognize what should be obvious. This should NOT surprise anyone who follows their frequent mistakes. Check out the Macworld benchmarks for a far more accurate picture. Both the 2.5 and 2.4 perform quite well and offer a nice (but not spectacular) bump in speed over the previous generation.
