Apple MacBook Pro Late 2010 - Fedora 17
Intel Core i5 testing with a Apple MacBook Pro and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M + Intel HD 256MB on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) via the Phoronix Test Suite. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com. Fedora 17 (with all stable updates as of 23 August added in) results appended to earlier Phoronix.com results for a portion of the 2010 Apple MBP results for a glimpse at no real difference with the Beefy Miracle over Ubuntu Linux compared against OS X Mountain Lion.
