While we’re all waiting for the Macs to be refreshed with the newest Intel CPUs, some new benchmarks have appeared on Geekbench.
It appears to be a new model of the MacBook and iMac running Mountain Lion. MacRumors notes:
This new MacBook Pro is listed as carrying an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7-3820QM quad-core processor running at 2.7 GHz…The unreleased system carries a benchmark of 12,262, compared to scores in the range of 10,500 for the corresponding current MacBook Pro processor, the Core i7-2860QM.
On the iMac:
The machine is listed as running an Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770 quad-core processor running at 3.4 GHz, which would correspond to a relatively high-end option in a new model. The system carries a benchmark of 12,183, only slightly higher than typical scores in the range of 11,500 for current iMac models using the top-of-the-line Core i7-2600 processor.
The MacBook Pro models are rumored to lose their DVD drives and look more like MacBook Airs.
