Another series of benchmarks from Primate Labs allows you to evaluate the performance of the updated MacBook Air laptops and 13-inch MacBook Pro. Devices based on Intel processor solutions of the latest generation, showed a slight increase in performance compared to its predecessors.
Updated 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air models equipped with Intel Core fifth generation at up to 2.2 GHz technology and Turbo Boost, increases the frequency up to 3.2 GHz, integrated graphics processor Intel HD Graphics 6000 and the technology to support Thunderbolt 2 throughput of up to 20 Gbit / s. 13-inch MacBook Air is also equipped with a flash memory, speed is increased up to two times compared to the previous generation.
In Geekbench benchmark new MacBook Air demonstrated productivity growth of 6% in the "single-core" mode due to the transition from the architecture Haswell on Broadwell. When tested using all new nuclei speed "eirov" was higher than 7%. Models based on Intel i7 processors faster by 14%
13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is now equipped with Intel Core fifth generation at up to 3.1 GHz technology and Turbo Boost, increases the frequency up to 3.4 GHz, and graphics chips Intel Iris Graphics 6100, flash memory with twice the increased speed work and batteries with longer battery life.
Testing MacBook Pro single mode active core showed performance increase from 3% to 7%, depending on the model. Growth performance in "multi-core" mode ranged from 3% to 6%.
"It is understood that the architecture of Broadwell - a" tick "in intellovskoy system" tick-tock ". By and large, the processors "tick" improve energy efficiency, while, as "so" - performance.So do not expect a significant increase in performance this year "- commented on the results of testing in the Primate Labs.
Updated 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is now available in the online store Apple.
