The quad-core 4th-gen Crystalwell processors utilize Intel Iris Pro Graphics, which provides up to 128MB of embedded memory to accelerate the processor- and graphics-intensive tasks by acting as an ultra-fast cache. With fast quad-core performance, you’ll be able to make quick work of even the most complex tasks in professional apps, such as Final Cut Pro, thanks to its 6MB 元 cache. You can also over-clock the processors from 3.2GHz to 3.5GHz, thanks to Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology.

With stock speeds from 2.0GHz to 2.3GHz, the Intel Hyper-Threading technology allows you to push the quad cores into eight virtual cores. The 15.4” MacBook Pro with Retina Display takes performance to the next level with quad-core 4th-gen Crystalwell Intel Core i7 processors. With Intel Iris Graphics, you’ll be able to handle both everyday tasks and graphics-intensive creative apps with ease, as well as output to an external display or two. Coupled with the dual-core 4th-gen Haswell Intel Core i5 processors on the 13.3” MacBook Pro is integrated Intel Iris Graphics, which boosts performance by up to 90 percent compared to the previous generation. You can also over-clock the processor anywhere from 2.9GHz to 3.1GHz. This allows for better multitasking and overall performance. Intel Hyper-Threading technology allows you to enhance performance by letting each core handle multiple tasks simultaneously, which means the dual cores on the Haswell Intel Core i5 can be pushed to four virtual cores. This means you’ll be able to take your power-hungry apps on the road.

The 4th-gen Haswell processors utilize low voltage for improved battery life without having to sacrifice performance. The 13.3” MacBook Pro with Retina Display has dual-core 4th-gen Haswell Intel Core i5 processors, with stock speeds from 2.4GHz to 2.6GHz. Both the 13.3” and 15.4” models received updates on October 22 and are ready to take your Mac experience to the next level. The MacBook Air may have gotten first dibs on the 4th-generation Haswell Intel® Core™ processors back in June, but Apple hasn’t forgotten about the MacBook Pro with Retina Display.
