Benchmarks of performance comparing Apple OS X 10.7 Lion vs. OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on the mid-2012 Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display and Intel Core i7 2.3GHz Ivy Bridge processor with switchable Intel HD 4000 / NVIDIA Kepler graphics. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel of Phoronix.com for a future article. Unfortunately Ubuntu Linux is currently borked on the Retina MacBook Pro.

This is a test of OpenArena, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game is based upon ioquake3, which in turn uses the GPL version of id Software's Quake 3 engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a test of C-Ray, a simple raytracer designed to test the floating-point CPU performance. This test is multi-threaded (16 threads per core), will shoot 8 rays per pixel for anti-aliasing, and will generate a 1600 x 1200 image. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

This is a benchmark of Nexuiz, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game uses the DarkPlaces engine, which is a largely modified version of the Quake engine with extra features such as High Dynamic Range rendering and OpenGL 2.0 shaders.
