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.
