New 12-Inch Retina MacBook is Between 5% and 18% Faster Than 2015 Model

And needs to be between 5% and 18% cheaper

Wow, what a time to be alive! /s

Still with a garbage camera and about $400 overpriced. No thanks.

And yet, The one thing GeekWebGuides articles on performance HAVEN'T ADDRESSED is thermal throttling in real world usage that the 2015 broadwell suffered heavily from.

under sustained, high load, such as outputting jobs from photoshop / lightroom, or movie producing, the Core M in the 2015 throttles up to 70% of the performance.

So i'm curious how much better the new CPU handles this compared to the old, or if Apple fixed the cooling.

It's interesting that we're basically seeing a repeat of what the MacBook Air has experienced:

Apple announces the MacBook Air and people go up in arms, saying it's too weak, there's very little ports, the design is meh, and the price is too dang high, and some competitor makes a computer JUST to take the "thinnest computer" crown from Apple. Then Apple releases some (very) small updates and people still complain.

Here, Apple releases the new MacBook and people go up in arms, saying it's too weak, there's very little ports, the design is meh, and the price is too dang high, and some competitor makes a computer JUST to take the "thinnest computer" crown from Apple. Then Apple releases a (very) small update and people still complain.

The MacBook Air got a major update and (mostly) everyone's happy with the speed, design, I/O (or at least gets used to it), and price, and pretty much becomes the standard now. It's stuff like this that prevents me from complaining; I very highly doubt the MacBook won't go through the same lane.

All in all, I am impressed with how Apple is providing a fast computer with passive cooling. Yeah, 5 percent is not all that much but when you consider the computer has no fan, I'll take any speed enhancement :)
