Primate Labs has already posted benchmarks for the MacBook Pros unveiled this week, and the results are amazing. Or to quote Steve Jobs, when he unveiled the Macintosh IIfx: "Wicked fast." The wicked fast IIfx was announced in 1990, and contained a 40 MHz 68030 Motorola processor.

The new wicked fast MacBook Pros contain dual- and quad-core processors ranging from 2 GHz to 2.7 GHz. You can see how well these new MacBook Pros perform by hopping on over to Primate Labs benchmark results for the MacBook Pro early 2011 models.
The slowest of the new MacBook Pros, a 13-inch Intel Dual-Core i5, is just a whisker slower than the fastest i7-based MacBook Pro from last year. And the fastest 2011 model MacBook Pro comes in with an oh-so-impressive 10164 GeekBench score. In many cases, performance saw gains of up to 80% when compared to last year's models.
Thanks for the review and more so the links. I can’t wait the put the new MBP with i7 and 8GB of RAM through the video editing test.
Keep up the great posts.
