Macbook Pro mid-2010 CPU & GPU details

I know someone asked for this in one of the 10 threads I am watching here right now, but I have no idea if it has been answered. So I started a new thread.

We have all been curious about exactly what is going on under the hood in the new Macbook Pros. It would appear that Apple is indeed underclocking the GPU a bit, at least as reported from GPUz:



I also fired up CPUz and was pleased to the see that the i5 turbo mode appears alive and well, at least in Windows 7:



This is all from the base model, off the shelf 15" Macbook Pro.

I would love to see this thread turn into results from other new machines so please download CPUz and GPUz and post them up!

 

stock Macbook Pro 13" 2010...

not going to install Windows to run this, so not all info is available.... some of the things cannot be detected... and GPUz wont run under Wine, so... can only give what CPUz can find.


probably not that exciting since its still a core 2 duo.. but .. what the heck.

 

what does the GPU clock read on normally-clocked 330m?

 

Core - 575 MHz
Shader - 1265 MHz
Memory - 1066 MHz

Memory (amount) - 1GB

 

how does each component affect the performance?

 

lol "GPU: GT216" nvidia is really not doing well compared with ati's new technology. why the hassle for relabelled older gpu series with higher clocks? where's the 400 fermi thingy nvidia's been babbling about? really ati doesn't do stuff like this.

 

depends on the application.

for perspective, the performance should model these numbers:

Notebookcheck: NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M

instead of the 330M numbers:

Notebookcheck: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

it will be interesting to see if these numbers can be unlocked and custom set.

 

The memory speed on the 330m really took a big hit!

At least it wasn't a G92b!

You have to respect that it is about a three year old technology and ATI has not been able to deliver a killer blow. Maybe ATI is just being lazy.

As of this year ATI now does almost the same thing: Mobility 4870 is a desktop 4850, Mobility 5870 is a desktop 5770.

In the end, who cares what's inside if we are seeing steady improvements?

 

Though the power consumption might be a little excessive for the MacBook Pro, the G92b is a great GPU, and definitely preferable, although ATI is leading at almost every price point and power point right now.

What's unfortunate about Fermi is its low performance per watt is bad news for future notebook GPUs
