Amid continued rumors that Apple intends to liberate a thirteen-inch Retina MacBook professional within the coming months, a Geekbench 2 benchmark submitted late remaining month as a “MacBookPro10,2” appears to symbolize the desktop in question.
in comparison, the new non-Retina 13-inch MacBook professional carries the version identifier “MacBookPro9,2”, whereas the 15-inch non-Retina version is “MacBookPro9,1” and the corresponding Retina edition is “MacBookPro10,1”.
while the machine identify of MacBookPro10,2 on the new entry may be faked, other knowledge included in the Geekbench result is consistent with what would be anticipated on the new computer. The laptop is listed as working a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7-3520M processor, which is obtainable in the high-end model of the non-Retina thirteen-inch MacBook professional. The computing device can also be listed as running build 12A2056 of OS X Mountain Lion, with the four-digit build quantity suffix steadily being used on Apple’s custom working gadget builds.
in addition, the motherboard identifier of AFD8A9D944EA4843 in the past surfaced as a brand new laptop in early builds of OS X Mountain Lion. while among the different new motherboard identifiers present in Mountain Lion had been accounted for with Apple’s MacBook professional and MacBook Air models launched ultimate month, the identification of AFD8A9D944EA4843 has remained unknown. ultimately, the computing device’s score of 7806 is on par with results seen for the non-Retina variation working the identical processor.
One inconsistency, however, is the checklist of just four GB of RAM on the Geekbench end result. the 2.9 GHz Core i7 processor is paired with eight GB of RAM even on the non-Retina 13-inch MacBook professional, even though prototype machines could have completely different configurations.
back in could, identical Geekbench benchmarks for what became out to be the non-Retina 15-inch MacBook professional, in addition to a revamped iMac, surfaced within the results browser. The revamped iMac has, however, yet to look a public launch.
