I’ll pay the $1999 for the 2.4 ghx model with slightly reduced performance but much lower heat and an hour longer battery life. It’s a no brainer as far as I am concerned. I’m putting 4 GB of ram in it an ordering a 320 GB drive from OWC. That drive is $187 and is a much better deal than paying $500 for the middle MBP with a slightly larger drive and slightly increased speed. if the model in June is better I’ll eBay this one for very little loss and buy the new one. No problem.

[...] According to Primate Labs, the overall performance in Geekbench is lower on the January 2008’s MacBook Pro (with Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 running at 2.4GHz) than the June 2007 model (with Core 2 Duo T7700 at 2.4GHz) because the new machine “has less L2 cache than processor in the old MacBook Pro.” However, they say that in theory the new Penryn-based notebook will give you more battery mileage as well as reduced heat at a lower price than the previous generation.

Thanks for doing these!

I'd love to see comparisons between a base model pro and a macbook. I am having a hard time deciding between the two. ...

[...] Hohe Erwartungenn wurden an das kürzlich vorgestellte MacBook Pro gestellt. Der Primate Labs Blog hat das neue Macbook mit dem Vorgängermodell verglichen und ein erstaunliches Ergebnis bekommen. Das mit 2.4 Ghz ausgestattete MacBook ist in der Gesamtleistung schlechter als das alte Gerät mit 2.4 Ghz, ausschließlich bei der Speicherperformance sollen sich Verbesserungen bemerkbar gemacht haben. Der Grund soll der fehlende L2-Cache sein, Apple verbaute weniger als noch in den Vorgängemodellen. Angeblich sollen die MacBooks diesmal aber kühler laufen und eine längere Akkulaufzeit aufweisen. Auf Tests mit dem 2.6 Ghz Modell ist zu hoffen, diese wurden nämlich noch nicht getestet. Primate Labs Blog [...]

It will be interesting to see what gains there are in SSE4-aware applications, since the Penryn is the first CPU with these new instructions.
