I agree, benchmark's in some case allow for a level of comparison. Personally I'd either pick up the i7 2.2 or the i9, the i7 2.6 I'd avoid.
People need to see how the notebook fits their workflow, equally it's very disappointing for Apple not to have done a better job with the thermals and power...
I agree. Not disposing of with the problem...which is also present in other i9 laptops, Apple should have done a bit more thinking regarding the thermal thresholds of the current chassis. I mean yes sure, still a great machine, but not the sort of greatness I am used to which was the main reason I switched to Mac in the early 2000s.

Right. I honestly could give a **** about Cinebench. I want to know how After Effects, FCP X and Premiere perform between the 2.6GHz i7, 2.2GHz i7, and i9.
Here is another good read regarding the i9 throttling.
