MacWorld has benchmarked Apple's new 17" MacBook Pro with the full review coming shortly. In this preliminary benchmark the only game that was used was Unreal Tournament 2004 and interestingly enough, the 17" MacBook Pro has the best results.

One application producing interesting results was Unreal Tournament, with the 17-inch laptop beating out all of the other models shown in the chart. It even managed to squeeze out 5.5 more frames per second than the 15-inch model, even though they have the same graphics processor and video memory configuration. We’ll run a few more game tests on these systems and see if the 17-inch MacBook Pro maintains its advantage across other applications.
