Macbook pro geekbench 20158/25/2023 In fact, we suspect that manufacturers might skip Broadwell at this point and go with 6th generation Skylake some time in 2016.įor those interested in the $2,500 dedicated graphics model, things have changed. Gone is the now 2 generation old NVIDIA GT 750M graphics, and it's been replaced by AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2GB DDR5 graphics (Apple has been using AMD lately, and they tend to switch between NVIDIA and AMD every few years). We're thrilled that Apple has refreshed the aging dGPU, but like many of you, I was a little disappointed that they didn't go with NVIDIA's new 900 series Maxwell graphics that have a very large boost in performance while reducing heat compared to older NVIDIA graphics. Benchmark results do not turn on their head, but there will be many out there hoping that they have not overpaid for their £1449 machine.AMD meanwhile has fallen from the limelight and gained a reputation for making hotter and slower graphics cards. Though the 2016 benchmarking scores are still preliminary and may change once the testing sample grows, it is still a bad start from a line-up that may be past its best days. Some would argue that its barely noticeable.Īfter the disappointing keynote unveiling the new flagship machine, followed by poor initial benchmark scores, Apple fanboys must feel hard done. In addition, the difference is only 600 points which shows approximately a five per-cent reduction in benchmarking-quantifiable results. Infact, the latest version of tests we obtained show it beaten by older machines too – but at this point I would like to re-iterate that this may be down to the small sample of 2016 models benchmarked so far. The benchmark results show that the Quad-core Intel Core i7 6820HQ 2.9GHz mean-machine is yet again beaten by the 2015 model. The line-up doesn’t change much from single-core to multi-core, with the exception that the 13-inch model drops out of the list. Even activating all available processor cores during the benchmarking tests didn’t do Apple’s new flagship model any favours. If you came here looking for some high-performance multi-core drama, you’ve come to the wrong place. I’m afraid you will be disappointed again. After-all, macOS is sold as a highly-optimised operating system designed to squeeze every last drop of power out of your machine for the perfect computing experience. Since Apple’s hardware is so tightly integrated with the software I tried to force the argument that the high-end MacBook would perform better when all four processor cores were in use. The HQ in the processor’s model name tells us that this processor is built with high-performance graphics and features 4 cores (quad core). This particular model features the maxed out 16GB of memory and a high-speed m2 SSD hard-drive as well as the 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 4980HQ processing chip. The single core results have the 15-inch retina MacBook Pro 2015 leading the way with just under 4300 Geekbench points. A significant majority of these videos show the 2015 model outpacing the newer TouchBar model unveiled a month ago. The most popular comparison seems to be a MacBook Pro 2015 i7 with 16GB of memory vs a MacBook Pro 2016 i7 with 16GB of memory. YouTubers have also been posting videos running demanding tasks on machines side-by-side. But, these are early results which may not accurately reflect the performance of Apple’s new line-up. It seems as though the MacBook Pro Late 2016 is slower than the older generations. Early benchmark scores for the new 2016 MacBook are beginning to surface online.
