If you recently bought a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air I’d love to know why you picked your model you can reach me via email or via twitter. I’m curious whether it’s the cheaper price or the faster performance (or a combination of both) that’s contributing to the MacBook Pro’s popularity. These results suggest users who want the fastest 13-inch Mac laptop are opting for the MacBook Pro, while everyone else is opting for the 13-inch MacBook Air. However, the opposite is true for the faster models the Core i7 MacBook Pro outsells the Core i7 MacBook Air by the same factor of two to one. Based on the results uploaded to the Geekbench Browser, the Core i5 MacBook Air outsells the Core i5 MacBook Pro by a factor of two to one. Now that both models have been out for a week it’s possible to test that hypothesis. When the new MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs came out, I wondered if the new MacBook Air would be more popular than the new MacBook Pro the lack of results for the new MacBook Pro suggested that would be the case. The Core i5 13-inch MacBook Pro is 10% faster than the Core i5 13-inch MacBook Air, while the Core i7 13-inch MacBook Pro is 15% faster (and $100 cheaper) than the Core i7 13-inch MacBook Air. Geekbench 6 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 2,500 (which is the score of a. These scores are the average of 13,247 user results uploaded to the Geekbench Browser. The latest MacBook Pros also offer a nice increase in performance over the latest MacBook Airs. The MacBook Air (Late 2020) with an Apple M1 processor scores 2,331 for single-core performance and 8,301 for multi-core performance in the Geekbench 6 CPU Benchmark. Some of the increase is from higher processor speeds, while some of the increase is from the improved Ivy Bridge processor architecture. Both the Core i5 and the Core i 13-inch MacBook Pros are over 10% faster than the equivalent Late 2011 13-inch MacBook Pros. But with these machines seeing significant boosts in graphics performance with the addition of Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics and/or the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, and systems with solid-state drives using faster drives than in the previous generation, real-world performance should see marked improvement.The latest MacBook Pros offer a nice increase in performance over the previous MacBook Pros. Geekbench testing focuses on processor and memory performance, providing comparisons of raw power between machines but only telling part of the story. As with the MacBook Pro, even the low-end systems of the new generation outperform the high end of the previous generation. On the MacBook Air side, top-of-the-line systems are seeing boosts of over 20% in Geekbench scores over their corresponding predecessors. The Retina MacBook Pro appears as MacBookPro10,1. That machine is designated MacBookPro9,1, while the 13-inch model is designated MacBookPro9,2. Notably, the leaked MacBook Pro benchmark from mid-May does appear to have been legitimate, with details corresponding to the new non-Retina 15-inch MacBook Pro. The top-of-the-line 2.7 GHz system registers with a Geekbench average score of 12,303, roughly 16% higher than the top-of-the-line 2.5 GHz Sandy Bridge system from the previous generation. With the first Mid-2012 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models reaching the public, Primate Labs has collated some data from its Geekbench 2 benchmarking database to assess the raw performance of these systems compared to their predecessors.įor the MacBook Pro, Primate Labs has data on four different models: the new Retina model with 2.3 GHz and 2.6 GHz processors and the non-Retina model with 2.3 GHz and 2.7 GHz processors.
