If you remember, a couple of days ago we released the news about the possible release of new MacBook Pro Retina models with improved specifications in terms of CPU and RAM compared to its predecessors. Well, according to some graphs that appeared yesterday, we can see how the new entry model of the MacBook Pro Retina goes from an Intel core i7 with a clock speed of 2.0Ghz to 2.2Ghz, which gives it a speed boost that if Well, it is not even close to noteworthy, it does make the team earn around 8 - 10% extra performance.
Of course the program to carry out the different stress tests on the equipment has been the now famous GeekBench 3, which shows both the performance per core and multi-core in tasks that demand more from the processor.
As we can see from the attached graph, the performance with a single core achieves a total of 3050 points, staying 100 points from the mid-range model and a respectable distance from the entry model of late last year, which remains at 2811 points. . With respect to Muti-core performance An improvement can also be seen, from 10.730 points for last year's model to 11.586 points for the current one.
Actually the new MacBook Pro Retina are just an update of the current ones without a significant architectural change but rather improve the clock speed of the "old" Intel Haswell processors somewhat. Now they have 2.6 and 2.8 GHz dual-core CPUs for the configurations of the 13-inch versions, and on the other hand, 2.2 and 2.5 GHz CPUs in quad-core configurations for the 15-inch models. However in customizing options with a custom configuration They even offer a 3,0 GHz dual-core processor in the 13-inch "Retina" model and a quad-core 2,8 GHz processor for the 15-inch.
Now they have also included options such as the possibility of expand flash storage to 1Tb in both models, both in 13 and 15 inches and of course with the inclusion of the standard 16 Gb of RAM in the 15-inch models.
Surely at the end of the year or the beginning of next year due to Intel problems with the production of new chips, we can see a true renewal of all models with obvious improvements in relation to performance both in power and battery.
