This complete technology channel in English that uploads its videos through YouTube, has just analyze the different versions of the 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina appeared to date in different fields, both in synthetic benchmarks and in real-life programs and situations.
Specific the models are reduced to three, the first is the original appeared in 2012 with an Ivy Bridge Intel Core i7 @ 2,4Ghz CPU (early 2013) together with an Nvidia GT650m graphics, the second corresponds to the new base model appeared at the end of 2013 with a Crystalwell Intel Core CPU i7 @ 2,0Ghz and the integrated Iris Pro graphics and finally the high-end model of the Retina range with Crystalwell Intel Core i7 @ 2,3Ghz CPU and an Nvidia GT750m graphics.

Aquí sobresaldrían los resultados de GeekBench 3 en los que el modelo tope de gama más actual rebasa a los otros dos by a narrow margin in the single-core test and somewhat looser in Multi-core, however the most curious thing is that the older model manages to anecdotally overcome, we could almost say, the base model of the MacBook Pro retina this year.
Logically, the general results in all the tests carried out indicate that the top of the range model in the new Retina is the one that takes the lead for pure performance in all aspects, however in many tests such as Image file conversions in Aperture, they are all quite close.
Based on these results, my recommendation would be that if you want to buy a new MacBook Pro Retina and you do not care about the graphic performance beyond the occasional sporadic play but your budget is not enough for the highest and current model, so choose the MacBook Pro Retina with Iris Pro, since it is more 'cool', it has a longer battery life than the previous generation and its SSD disk by PCIe is faster as well.
If instead you like to play more everyday, you need OS X for your work and you use applications that use discrete graphics but still cannot access the more expensive model, so go for a deal to get last year's MacBook Pro Retina 15 ″ with the Nvidia GT650m, since it performs practically like the basic model of this year but graphically it is much more powerful.

Question the basic model of the retina with which iris pro has, would it be useful for web programming and developing for mobiles?
Of course, you would be left over with the basic configuration as long as your intention is not to play or 3D design
Hello, I am an architect and I work with programs such as autocad and revit architecture, etc. I want to buy a 13-inch Macbook pro but I don't know which model to choose in relation to cost benefits, thanks.
Hello Maca, first of all welcome to Soydemac. In answer to your question, I would advise that if you are going to use the MacBook screen you go directly for the 15,6-inch model since you will appreciate being able to work with these types of programs on a larger screen diagonal. If you are simply going to use it together with a separate monitor most of the time and you are going to move around a lot, the 13-inch is better.
With the entry models you have enough processor, both the i5 @ 2,4Ghz Haswell of the 13 ″ MacBook Pro and the i7 @ 2,0Ghz of the Macbook Pro 15 ″, just make sure it has as MINIMUM .. 8Gb of RAM and space I recommend a minimum 256Gb, but that already depends on your storage needs that with an external HDD you can 'solve'.
Hello! Great site, congratulations! I'm between a 15 ″ 2,6 rMBP and a 15 ″ 2,3 rMBP both 16gb of memory. I do video editing in full hd (soon 4k). Working environment: Premier, After effects, Lightroom, Photoshop, Logic
What would you recommend me?
thank you very much!
