15" Retina MacBook Pro Performance Review: Boot Up, Benchmarks & Speed Tests! (2012)

2012-06-15
hey guys johnathan here was TLD with a performance video on the all new 2012 Retina Display MacBook Pro this is the baseline 2.3 gigahertz quad-core i7 model 8 gigs of ram and a 256 gigabyte SSD which is why we are starting off with a boot up speed test and as you can see it is wicked fast we are loaded up and ready to go into lie and in just under 15 seconds jump it on to another SSD benchmark we are now in disk speed test by Blackmagic Design this is free in the App Store if you guys want to check it out yourselves for the right speeds we're getting around 400 megabytes a second and then for the read performance it's a little higher coming in around 450 megabytes per second which is around 3 to 4 times faster than traditional moving parts hard drive and then about 2 times faster than Apple's previous SSD so it is a significant improvement next up Geekbench which pretty much test the entire system's performance this is the 64 bit version and I was able to go score of 12,000 and 34 which if I'm not mistaken is pretty close to the top and I'm max from 2011 so being the base model this performs extremely well we're gonna go ahead and hop on to nova bench which is a little newer than Geekbench but it is free in the Mac App Store so if you guys want to download yourselves let me know your score hit me up with a comment down below for this machine I got a score of a thousand 87 and again let me know how your system score will they comment down below now a lot of you guys have been asking for a Photoshop test and while this is being run on cs6 that will work with prior versions so I'll have a link down below and you guys can run it as well and for this benchmark we got a final score of twenty eight point six seconds next up we're on to Cinebench eleven point five which not only tests the CPU but the GPU as well so this is the Nvidia GT 650 M with one gig of vram and you can see we get a score of 33.8 six frames per second so it's not too shabby for a laptop GPU for the CPU section we got a score of six point one two you can see this is a quad-core processor and it has eight threads now what that means is even though there are four physical cores there are eight threads so the OS will see all those eight threads and process off them giving you better performance now for the second to last test we are using Final Cut Pro 10 and what I did was I open today's earlier unboxing project cut it down to 30 seconds set a timer and exported this is exported in a full 1080p h.264 and it actually exported faster than the project itself which is all kinds of awesome so to close this video up we're going to end it with an SSD stress test so we're select every application open it up and let the MacBook Pro do its thing so thank you guys for watching if you enjoyed it and you're feeling like being awesome make sure to hit that like button as it does help the channel out if you guys haven't subscribed make sure you do so soon to miss any of the MacBook Pro coverage if you guys are interested in picking this up I have the Amazon link where we actually save a couple hundred bucks because you don't pay tax and if you guys missed the unboxing from earlier make sure you watch that right here and I will see you guys later you
