MacWorld posted some benchmarks of the new MacBook notebook:

The 13-inch MacBook unveiled by Apple Tuesday outperformed the fastest iBook G4 in all but one of our tests and also matched up well against a PowerBook with a 1.67GHz G4 processor, according to Macworld Lab tests.

We tested two of the latest Intel-based laptops: a white MacBook with a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo chip and a black-matte laptop powered by a 2GHz dual-core processor. These laptops replace the G4-based 12-inch PowerBook as well as the entire iBook line.
