No joke. Just got an new MBP for work. Before had a spinning disk (well hybrid). Was running some silly benchmarks that I ran before and clocked my disk throughput at about 100MB/s. On MBP got 800MB/s. I thought something broke (was hitting page cache or some trickery like that) or didn't compile things right. But no, tried other tools, looked online and it seemed correct. It really surprised me.
