Nice scores. The multi scales nicely.
I'm very surprised that my multicore result was more than twice the number of cores. Yes, hyperthreading showed an advantage. Usually geekbench scores don't really score linearlly, e.g. you could get 1000 on one core, and only get 3000 on 4 cores.
Anything above about 500 or so is more or less sufficient, but single core results make a difference on starting applications, among a lot of other things (and gaming especially). My macbook air got around 800 before it got stolen. The MS server got around 730.
I don't think I'll be unlocking the BIOS on this thing though. Apple probs has that locked down better than the Pentagon.
