CBR23 runs the MT test on a long timer, repeating it until the timer runs out. So it's a good test of sustained performance, taking into account full MT power draw and the device's cooling abilities.
More data is needed, yes, but Apple looks to be in a decent if not leading position with regard to throughput.
