A used rMBP 15" as configured above is going for $1800+ USD on eBay. The cost of the new rMBP 13" as configured above is $2199 USD. And trust me, you really need a preview of what you are about to render. But the 13" rMBP takes so long to complete the Iris Blur preview, it cancels out the speed advantage of the render time. The 13" rMBP surprisingly beat the 15" rMBP in two of the Photoshop tests (Noise Reduction and Iris Blur). Other benchmarks used include SunSpider, LuxMark, GFXBench, and Valley.įCPX, Photoshop, Handbrake, and Diablo III are demanding apps but not so demanding that a laptop user would not be found using them. However, when it came to multi-core tests, the quad-core 15" smoked the dual-core 13". Regarding Cinebench and Geekbench, notice the 13" rMBP closely matched the performance of the older 15" when running single core tests. ( RED bar means FASTEST in Frames per Second.) The "OFF-screen" mode runs the test at 1920x1080 offscreen, providing a way to compare results of Macs with varied screen resolution. GFXBench 3 has a "T-Rex HD" test a game simulation where a Tyrannosaurus chases a dirt bike rider. ( RED graph bar means FASTEST in Thousands of Samples per Second.) We rendered the LuxBall scene using the Intel integrated GPUs only. ( RED graph bar means FASTEST in SECONDS. We used it to convert a two minute 1400x1080 Apple ProRes 422 clip to 960x720 H.264 MP4.

This free utility is useful for converting nearly any video formats to a selection of widely supported codecs. ( RED graph bar means FASTEST in MILLISECONDS. This tests the performance of the Javascript "engine" of your Mac.

It performs typical functions and applies typical filters as fast as possible. )įinally, we ran the diglloydMedium Action file that generates a 15.7GB scratch file using a 20,000-pixel-wide image. Next we rendered an Iris Blur at 500 pixels.

We timed how long it took to Reduce Noise in a sample RAW image. )įinally we exported (shared) it in a form compatible with "Apple Devices 1080p" (H.264 Faster Encode). The first effect we rendered was Aged Film. We imported a two minute 1440x1080 ProRes 422 clip.

This is a hybrid benchmark since it uses the same rendering code as the full professional version of Cinema 4D R15. )Ĭinebench R15 - Render 3D Model using a Single Core and then Multiple Cores with Hyperthreading. The overall score is an amalgam of Integer, Floating Point, and Memory performance tests. Primate Labs' cross-platform processor benchmark uses a scoring system that separates single-core and multi-core performance.
