Recent posts on GeekBench, a cross-platform processor benchmark, indicate there are at least two new Macintosh computers coming out of Cupertino this summer.

Posts from May 10th and May 13th show entries for a new iMac13,2 and a “MacBookPro9,1’ respectively, running Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

On the desktop front, the numbers may correspond to brand new 27-inch iMac models running quad-core Ivy Bridge processors (i7-3770 running at 3.4GHz), according to Cult of Mac, which takes into account the possibility of potentially tweaked data “by a rambunctious Mac enthusiast.”

Nevertheless, Apple is widely expected to refresh at least some of its Macintosh computers this summer, with the MacBook Pro family being the primary candidate, followed by the all-in-one iMac.
