![]() 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. Poole said he did not expect the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro benchmark results to increase significantly.Early benchmark scores for the new 2016 MacBook are beginning to surface online. The chipmaker uses a Tick-Tock model where Tock indicates a bigger microarchitecture upgrade to improve performance, while Tick is an upgrade to improve efficiency. ![]() The modest improvements are not surprising, given the fact that Broadwell is considered an efficiency improvement in Intel's processor making model. However, the results have changed a little bit to reflect the fact that the machines are now past the initial OS X Yosemite housekeeping tasks and are showing a bit more improvement than last year. "The performance differences and the price differences between the processors are roughly equivalent."Įarlier this week, Primate Labs released initial Geekbench results for the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro, showing speeds that were more or less similar to mid-2014 numbers. ![]() "I have no recommendations regarding the processor for the new MacBook Pro," said Poole. ![]() The i7 model fared slightly better with a 6 percent increase over last year's 6357. In multi-core tests, the i5 model hit a high of 6395, which is only 4 percent higher than last year's results. The 3.1 GHz Core i7, on the other hand, had a single-core score of 3209 over last year's 3112. On the 2.9 GHz Core i5 model, single-core performance peaked at 3111, slightly better than the 2943 scored by the mid-2014 model. The performance gains were not as noticeable on the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro.
