There is a CBM on the north east corner of the building, at the end of the gate. Marked on the 1890 map of Thwaite and Muker.
This Benchmark style table was customized to be 42"wide x 120"long x 42"h with the standard 2" thick top. Planking, medium distressing, hand worn edges, and Ruff Sawn sanding were options chosen.
The coordinating stools chosen were 10) 30"h Richland stationary sides with wood seats. Medium distressing and worn edges were done to match the table.

Benchmark at the top of the hill at Occidental College. Anyone have any records on this?

A Global Positioning System setup on a benchmark on the top of the NOAA Sentinel at Shell Beach, Louisiana. NOAA Sentinels are water-level observing stations which have been strengthened to deliver real-time storm tide data during severe coastal events. Built to withstand category four hurricanes, these structures maintain an incredible presence, given their size and stature, along the Gulf coast.

More of the same. The new thing is a Final Cut Pro HDV 1080i60 render. Final Cut Pro is not universal yet, but just the render? That sounds pretty contrived to me too. Could be the crappy memory bandwidth of the G4 for all I know.
Where is the Photoshop benchmark? Where are the other tasks in Final Cut Pro? Motion? Aperture? MacOffice? and other Pro apps that haven’t been ported?
The strange thing here is the floating point delta is larger than the integer one. Anyone know why? Maybe the extra core doesn't benefit this mark, I seem to remember something about Apple turning of hyperthreading in their Intel v. G5 SPECint marks a couple years back because it slowed SPECint down. Related? If so, it shows why contrived marks like this are full of shit.
(Not that I don’t think the MacBook Pro is a fast computer, or has the potential to be much faster than a G4 Powerbook here. But let us remember that I am typing this on a 1.5Ghz Powerbook that is one and a half years old. Today’s fastest Powerbooks are 1.67Ghz—a whole 10% faster. It’s easy to blow away a computer that sits at least a Moore's Law doubling behind you.)
