12/2/2023 0 Comments Macbook pro geekbench 2017 score![]() Let’s also take a look at the multi-core Geekbench 4 scores for these Macs: The low variations suggest no significant throttling is happening in any of the Macs. The laptop Macs have a higher, but still reasonable, run-to-run variation of 2.6% and 3.9%. The desktop Macs have a very low run-to-run variation, with the Coefficient of Variation (CoV) less than 0.5% for the Mac Pros and the iMac. Let’s take a look at the build time variation for the Macs: Model The 4-core MacBook Pro is significantly slower than the 6-core MacBook Pro, taking 46% longer to build Geekbench. ![]() However, the 6-core MacBook Pro is a close second, taking 25% longer to build Geekbench. Unsurprisingly the 12-core Mac Pro is the fastest Mac. Here are the median build times for the Macs: While I don’t have access to an i9 model yet, I expect the i7 to throttle similarly to the i9 when running multi-core tasks. I ran the stress test on several Macs in the Primate Labs office, including a MacBook Pro (Mid 2018) with an i7 processor. ![]() The stress test takes between 30 minutes and 60 minutes to complete. Each iteration is timed separately to see if performance changes over time. The stress test emulates a developer workload by building Geekbench 4 from scratch ten times in a row. ![]() To test whether this is the case, I wrote a quick stress test. There is increasing concern that the new 6-core MacBook Pros (in particular the i9 model) throttle under sustained load to the point where they are slower than the old 4-core MacBook Pros. ![]()
