Upon further investigation, we also experienced throttling, though we weren’t able to replicate some of the results others found, such as a decrease in performance compared to the 2017 MacBook Pro. Here, we see more gains by the 2018 MacBook Pro.įollowing the initial posting of this review, other reviewers discovered that the MacBook Pro had problems with processor throttling. The Cinebench OpenGL Test is another graphics test, which involves rendering a complicated 3D scene. In the Geekbench 4 OpenCL test, the 4GB Radeon Pro 560X in the new laptop provides a nice improvement over the 4GB Radeon Pro 560.
We also ran a set of graphics benchmarks to gauge the speed of the MacBook Pro’s graphics.
Geekbench 4 OpenCL Test: Discrete graphics IDG This is one change that users have been wanting for a while. There’s more good news about the memory: The maximum amount you can have installed is now 32GB, double that of the previous 15-inch MacBook Pro. That increase meets DDR4’s requirements, and thus, you won’t see an more battery life. DDR4 is faster, but it demands more power, and to meet that demand, Apple increased the amount of battery in the 2018 MacBook Pro. In another welcomed upgrade, Apple made the switch from DDR3 RAM in previous MacBook Pros to DDR4 RAM in the 2018 models. (In addition to the $2,799 model, Apple offers a $2,399 standard configuration model with a 6-core 2.2GHz Core i7 processor.) To get this processor, you need to customize the $2,799 standard-configuration model that has a 6-core 2.6GHz Core i7 CPU. The high-end CPU that you can get in the 15-inch MacBook Pro (and the one in this review) is a 6-core 2.9GHz Core i9 with Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz and 12MB shared 元 cache. But even if all you use are productivity apps that use only one processing core (a spreadsheet, email, a browser), you’ll find a nice boost in this machine. Apps that can take advantage of multiple processing cores will benefit-professional-level apps, like high-end video, audio, and photo editors. The major difference between the Core processor in the 2018 15-inch models and previous models is that it now has six processing cores, two more than before. The 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro uses 6-core Coffee Lake Intel Core processors. So, for over three months-and over a year since the MacBook Pro was last updated-we’ve been left to imagine how Coffee Lake MacBooks would perform.
#NEW APPLE MACBOOK PRO 2018 REVIEW PC#
New PC laptops with these processors (code-named Coffee Lake) appeared, and the performance numbers were impressive. Now, if you only pay attention to Macs, you may not know that Intel released these processors last April, and it was a mystery as to when they would appear in an Apple laptop. Coffee Lake, the star of the 2018 MacBook ProĪfter much anticipation, it’s here, the eighth generation of Intel’s Core processors.
