2.2/1TB/32/560x

Geekbench: 5044/22225
OpenCL: 51072
Cinebench: 1030 (average of 10 runs. Min: 991. Max: 1068)
Cinebench OpelGL: 97.92 fps

Tests performed with the laptop on a desk in a 70 degree F room. During the Cinebench tests, CPU would boost to 4 Ghz at first then stabilize at around 3 Ghz for the remainder of the test.

This pretty much beats the 2.6
I wonder if thats the RAM? Shouldn't be, right?

It doesn’t ‘beat’ the 2.6 or consume much RAM. Those tests will stress the three models roughly in the same ball park. These are not real world use cases.

Grab a folder of 100+ RAW images and automate batch them with a Photoshop action or Automator script. The action should contain file format conversion, upscaling and color profile conversion. The result will show you a bigger difference between the models than these generic benchmark apps. It will also show you how much productivity you will gain over previous generations.

I know right, that's the same performance as the i9 lol.

I was just telling somebody that it looks like I’m about 60% of the tests being run they’re all neck and neck and in about 40% you start to see the expected distribution. Barefeats’ shootout will be interesting.

Ran another series of Cinebench now that ambient temperature has gone back to normal here (24 degrees Celsius)

Ran it 5 consecutive times with no break (maybe max 1 second).
To make it perform as fast as it could I
  • shut down any Adobe background processes and other processes I recognized that could be turned off
  • Turned off wifi, no physical network connection as well.
  • plugged in the power cable
  • Used Macs fan Control to set the fan speed on max before I started, this got temperatures down to 42 degrees Celsius on start
  • Put the Macbook on a small block at the back so that there was room underneath the Macbook to cool as it was at a small angle.

My scores: 1124,1098, 1088, 1038, 1020

Tried it one more time but waited a little too long for that one so I don't include it, but it gave another 1000+ score.

System: 15" i9, 32gb, 1tb.

Real nice!! 1124 I think is the highest I’ve seen anywhere.
 
fwiw, saw a good benchmark on the 2.2 on youtube, not many views so assuming not many have seen it

I doubt you’ll see a lot of difference from software optimization. The above listed software already run on single core all the way up to 12 cores in the Mac Pro.

Yes I think so as well :D I also had a run that started at 1120 on a fresh Bootcamp installation when it was 32 degrees Celsius in the room, so I guess I hit the CPU silicon lottery. Makes it extra hard that I have to return it due to its other problems :(
 
I've been suitably impressed with my MBP 13" Core i5. That said I'm equally impressed my iMac 2012 is still going strong too!

Here's my set of Geekbench numbers using a number of Volta various settings. What's odd is the relative closeness of all three.

So what this tells me, is that if running stock or even undervolting is producing higher temps, then the way to go is the power throttling with Volta as I'm getting similar results but without the heat.


Stock setup (not using Volta)

Volta with power limited to 30watts

Volta with power limited to 45 watts.

Geekbench with undervolting and no power lifts
