Another score coming.

Ok, so I broke down today and ordered the 13" i7 MBA. :D

(After my wife gave her blessing naturally.)

Says it won't be here until week after next. :Grimmace:

Congrats!! :D I'll update the list once you get a score for us. It'll be good to have a few MBAs on here.

Way... way too many specs to list.
FYI, median scores on my 11 mbp have dropped with the Lion install.

That's very interesting actually - I was wondering the other day what the impact might be, if any. Would be curious to hear feedback from others on this. How many pts dropped or %age?

Yep - It was still showing to be in Shanghai when I went to bed last night - arrived in Dallas at 5AM and in my hand by noon - pretty sweet.

Not,exactly, the stream test also factors in ram, an importent factor for ram usage.
8Gb of ram adds about 300-400 points in the 64Bit test, those are real numbers.

Would you guys be interested in creating a separate 64bit chart and see the difference? (Piggo3's mac probably has 16Gb of ram... +800 points)

If there were more people with the full version of Geekbench - then I'd create a 64-bit chart. As it is, this thread has been around for some time and I think there might be 5 64-bit scores available. (I haven't gone back through to count).

Just for you to know: My MBP has 8Gb of Ram and is a Dual Core machine for the next time you update, thanks, it's surprising to see where it falls. Not too shabby for the base model.

LOL, it says my iBook G4 and iMac G3 have no ram, probably because they have 768 and 320MB. I'm just happy to see my PowerMac G5 at 29 on the list, beating 15 Intel Macs. ;D

I ran it a few times last week after installing Lion... I got around 3750 each time. I'm not a 15" MacBook Pro with 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM.
