The 15-inch MacBook Pro uses a Haswell chip to show off

After upgrading the MacBook Air to the Haswell processor at WWDC 2013, it seems that Apple is also about to release the MacBook Pro line with the latest processor from Intel.

According to some recent Geekbench benchmark results, the "Apple App" is preparing a new 15-inch MacBook Pro with Haswell chip. The benchmark results do not indicate whether this is a model using a Retina display or a regular screen. However, it is possible that Apple will stop upgrading for regular screen models in order to " Retina" its products.

The new 15-inch MacBook Pro scored a Geekbench score of 12,497. In addition to Haswell processor, the machine is also equipped with 16 GB RAM. This is a benchmark comparable to last year's Ivy Bridge chip model and is understandable because like the MacBook Air 2013 , the biggest benefit Haswell has is its battery life, not performance. MacBook Air uses new chips for up to 12 hours of battery life, greatly increased compared to previous generations.

The chip model used on Apple's new laptop is the 2.4 GHz speedy Core i7-4950HQ with the high-end integrated Iris Pro 5200 graphics chip. Intel said the i7-4950Q's Iris 5200 graphics for 2 to 2 higher performance. 2.5 times the i7-3840QM HD Graphics 4000 used on current MacBook Pro Retina.

This opens up the possibility that Apple will no longer need an external graphics card (the 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina currently has Nvidia discrete graphics card) - probably in some models to increase the battery life of the device. Currently, the 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina gives 7 hours of battery life, and with Haswell chips this time is expected to increase, although the increase will be difficult to reach the 80% mark as with MacBook Air (due to screen usage High resolution Retina image).
