![]() ![]() These are still respectable speed bumps, but nothing that will likely have anybody rushing out to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro. The updates to the 13-inch MacBook Pros are less remarkable, with all of them still offering only dual- and quad-core i5 and i7 CPUs with a maximum performance of 2.8GHz/4.7GHz, although they’re all using Intel’s latest eighth-generation versions of those CPUs. While Apple refreshed both the 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros this week, it’s really only the bigger 15-inch models that are seeing significant performance gains. ![]() It’s this latter, highest-end model that’s been benchmarked here. ![]() It’s also worth noting that Apple sells two variations of the new 8-core MacBook Pro the base octo-core model comes with a 2.3 GHz i9 that can burst up to 4.8 GHz, with the option to bump that to 2.4/5.0 GHz for an extra $200. Of course, there are other factors than just raw CPU speed that may contribute to increased performance as well. Apple’s claims are a bit more generous, with the company promising “up to” 40 percent faster performance than a six-core MacBook Pro, and double the performance of a quad-core model. In practical terms, the Geekbench results show about a 10 percent increase in single-core speeds and an impressive 29 percent in multi-core performance. ![]()
