Same specs, different score?

I have a late 2008 MacBook Core 2 Duo, 2 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 240 GB SSD. On Geekbench 3 it clocks around 1100 single core, 2000 dual core. Given the rough similarity in specs between this 6+ year old machine and Apple's latest offerings, what explains the dramatic difference in scores?

    You have a core 2 duo inside... That's the difference. Clock speeds mean nothing.
