Do you know of any stats on the 2.8GHz model or on VM Ware Fusion performance in general?

It's only a little over two months away, although it'll probably be 3+ Well, if you can wait until early ‘09, the new 17″ Macbook Pro should be released around then.

If the 17" had the new features it would be the one I went for as I like the larger screen. See what happens tomorrow when I can see them side by side Rob Aviv

Some MacBlogz readers and MacRumors readers were entangled in a thread trying to figure out which Intel chips were specifically used. Glad these benchmarks could help. Have you made your decision yet? No problem Rob :) — Glad we could help, these benchmarks came at just the right time too.

Have you made your decision yet?

I must say I was suprised how close they seem in your benchmarks above with the older slow 17" outperform the new 15" in floating point? Another observation you refer to the 17" having 2.6ghz in on set of tests and 2.4ghz in another set (identified in your test by the graphics card)?
