GPU: I expect Apple to introduce the GTX860M into the higher-end model of the 15" refresh. and decreased lag when running multiple processes. For real world tasks: Expect to see slightly faster startup times for apps, etc. Device heating should also be reduced overall.ĬPU: The official numbers are still up in the air, but if past generation-to-generation intel CPU performance bumps are any indication, Broadwell CPU's should mark noticeably higher on benchmark tests. 30% less power than their Haswell equivalents. As long as Apple doesn't introduce any significant battery hogging pieces of Hardware, expected battery life should surely go up! Broadwell CPU's use approx. The rMBP Broadwell refresh would be a SIGNIFICANT overhaul from both the late-2013 and mid-2014 models.īattery Life/Heat: Each generation of Intel CPU's has been focused on decreased power consumption and increased power. Advice: Go for the late-2013 model and save some $$ or wait for the Broadwell Model. For almost all tasks & gaming needs, the difference between 8GB and 16GB doesn't exist.Īll the same.

Even high end Ultra 1080p gaming only utilizes a max of about 4-5GB's of RAM.
no difference between the late-2013 and mid-2014 models.Īpple has chosen to stick with PCIe SSD's (Not that there is anything on the commercial market that is faster than a PCIe SSD) and they are assumably still manufactured by Samsung, thus no change here either.ĨGB of RAM is literally the magic number for (almost) everything. and Apple has chosen to stick with the Iris Pro and GT750m. GPU's are SIGNIFICANTLY more important than CPU's for video-editing, gaming, etc. 25 second difference in app* launch times. If anyone cares enough to read my summarized analysis, it is as follows: These are the best prices I've ever seen for the retina prosĪside from a minor CPU clock speed change and the default RAM increase, the mid-2014 refresh is barely different from the late-2013 refresh, except for the $300-$400 price difference.

With both the entry and mid 13" being 400 cheaper, the 8/256 is obviously a better deal since yesterday's update gave the base 8GB of ram, but for 899, 4/128 isnt bad at all. I was able to grab the 8/256 before tax and the 4/128 would be 899 before tax. If you're feeling extra frisky, you could get a movers coupon fro USPS and get an extra 10% The 100 off student discount still works. Personally I was interested in the 13", specifically the 8/256, since yesterday's update merely changed the clock speed on the midlevel 13" by.
