what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today I've got a speed test for you this is the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display that I recently unboxed and featured on the channel if you haven't seen that unboxing video I definitely recommend you go and check it out I'll link it down into the description so you can go see it now the purpose of this video is to find out just how fast this system is and I'm gonna be using a couple of different tools to try and figure that out the first one is called Geekbench and this is probably the most popular benchmarking tool in the Mac world and rather than make you sit through the entire process it does take a few minutes to get a benchmark figure once it's all done I'm gonna speed forward and we're gonna jump to the eventual Geekbench score and you might be surprised at the results I actually was myself but then as I gave it a little bit more thinking I realized why so here is the Geekbench score it's 6 7 33 6733 and this is an overall score representative of a number of different characteristics that are tested in Geekbench as I scroll down here you can see it gets significantly more complicated you've got floating-point performance memory performance stream performance etc there's a number of different characteristics and rather than get too complicated with it let's concentrate on the main figure 6733 which is representative of how everything comes together the whole system performance and then when we compare that to some other popular Mac's these are popular Mac benchmark scores here Geekbench scores I should say and you'll see as I scroll down there's Mac Pro's there's an IMAX there's MacBook Pros and there's even Mac minis that we have to pass to find where this new system is gonna fit in in terms of an overall score now at first its kind of surprising you think wow this is a $1700 machine at base specification which is the model that I'm testing here and the reason it scores lower than some less expensive machines is because it's got to push an incredible amount of pixels out to this Retina display and it lacks the dedicated graphics that the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display and regular 15-inch MacBook Pro have on board so the next benchmarking tool that I'm going to run this system through was called Cinebench and if you're unfamiliar with this tool it's gonna be really GPU intensive it's gonna throw 3d imagery moving imagery much like a video game at your system and figure out just how fast your system can render it back and the exact FPS that it does it at and of course like I said earlier the fact that this system doesn't have its own dedicated graphics card means you're gonna see a performance hit in this particular test there's a secondary part as well Cinebench also tests your CPU by using this two-dimensional image super high resolution version and rendering it each little box at a time so you're gonna get a CPU figure a CPU score also out of this particular benchmarking tool so once it's all completed you get two scores the OpenGL figure once again very graphics intensive you can see here you've got sixteen point nine two fps that this system is capable of and the CPU performance is two point eight two points that doesn't mean much right now tell you what the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina is capable of in a quick moment you can see this is the base spec for the 13-inch at 2.5 gigahertz and two cores I really wish there was a quad core option for the 13-inch Pro because then it could deliver scores much closer to the 15-inch model with an OpenGL score of 34 point eight FBS and a CPU score of six point one two so as you can see it's much faster for graphics intensive tasks as you might expect having that extra processing power and of course the dedicated graphics if you're into multimedia you're definitely gonna want to look at the 15-inch over the 13 but don't get me wrong this is still a magnificent machine when you consider the form factor the size and weight and the beauty of the screen you can kind of accept some of those drawbacks comparative to the 15-inch model actually this is a good time to remind you guys I'm having a big giveaway this Sunday I'll link the giveaway video down in the description you just saw it up there on my channel page if you haven't seen that giveaway video you should check it out and one more thing actually that I want to talk about you're looking at my Instagram photos here some of you guys follow me on Instagram and I had a cool idea I've got a lot of stuff lying around here small items that don't make sense for big giveaways and I'm thinking I might come up with a creative way of giving them away on Instagram or Twitter anyways if you don't follow yet on instagram i'm unbox therapy as you might imagine that's my name and on twitter at unbox therapy follow me in those two place i'm gonna come up with a creative way to give a giveaway a bunch of smaller items phone cases and things like that so stick around and find out what those are on those two social networks anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this speed test of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display these are the figures these are the facts and I'm just making them clear for you guys if you enjoyed this content make sure to leave a like and favorite down below as it does help out a bunch and as I said before big giveaway is happening tomorrow or actually today now because I'm up late so Sunday 5 p.m. Eastern check out the giveaway video in the description so you don't miss out see you guys soon alright later
