The only test that the i5 MacBook Pro didn’t prevail in was our WorldBench 6’s multitask test (a Windows test run in Parallels Desktop), which the 2.8GHz MacBook Pro won handily. iPhoto and Compressor scores between the new entry-level and the previous high-end 15-inch MacBook Pro were very similar. Comparing the new 2.4GHz Core i5 MacBook Pro with the previous top-of-the-line 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, the new entry-level 15-inch was 5 percent faster in our Speedmark 6 testing, with 7-percent faster scores in our Photoshop test, a 17-percent faster Cinebench CPU score, a 16-percent faster MathematicaMark 7 score, and a 19-percent faster Aperture score. Not only was the new entry-level MacBook Pro faster than the model it replaces, but it was also faster than the previous “better” and “best” configurations in the 15-inch lineup, which used 2.66GHz and 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo processors, respectively. Macworld Lab testing by James Galbraith, Chris Holt, Lynn La, and Meghann Myers. We ripped a DVD chapter to the hard drive and opened a 500 page Word document in Pages ’09. We ran WorldBench 6 multitasking test on a Parallels VM. We converted 90 minutes of AAC audio files to MP3 using iTunes’ High Quality setting.

In iMovie, we imported a camera archive and exported it to iTunes for Mobile Devices setting.
We used Compressor to encode a MOV file to the application’s H.264 for video podcast setting.We timed the import and thumbnail/preview creation time for 150 photos. We recorded how long it took to render a scene with mulitprocessors in CinemaBench. Photoshop’s memory was set to 70 percent and History was set to Minimum. The Photoshop Suite test is a set of 14 scripted tasks using a 50MB file. All systems were tested with 10.6.3 and 4GB RAM. Reference systems in italics.Ĭall of Duty score is in frames per second.
