Last week, Primate Labs released benchmarks of nearly all the Intel Macs, from the Mac mini to the MacBook Pro. Primate Labs used Geekbench 2 which only measured the processing power and memory. Nonetheless, the benchmarks give users a chance to compare all the Intel Macs but the Xserve.

There’s not a huge change in performance across most of Apple’s Intel-based Mac lineup (the high-end MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo is only 30% faster than the low-end MacBook Core Duo, for example). The only big changes occur at the low end with the (discontinued) single-core Mac mini, or at the high end with the quad-core Mac Pro.

Just a note to anyone who's wondering - this benchmark only tests CPU and memory,  so it's not very useful as an indicator of gaming performance. (If it was, the Mac Pro/MBP/iMacs with decent graphics cards would have left the rest in the dust).

quite honestly, this article is nothing common sense wont tell you. speeds increase over time, Pro models are fastest.
