Finally, in Xbench the new notebook scored 490.43 points. In a disk speed test of the new flash storage, the Pro managed 306.6 MB/s write speeds and 448.0 MB/s read speeds. The new MacBook Pro scored 5.74 CPU points, putting it ahead of a last-gen 3.2GHz Core i7, and only really bested by eight- and twelve-core alternatives such as Intel's workstation-focused Xeon (as you'd find in the Mac Pro). It provides a solid overview of how a system will handle intensive tasks such as video processing and gaming.
We then turned to Cinebench, which benchmarks both processor and graphics performance with a mixture of 3D rendering and OpenGL tests. The new processor and graphics options present the biggest advantages over the MacBook Air, if you're trying to balance raw power with portability, with no question that this is a capable desktop-replacement. Thin the new MacBook Pro may be, but that doesn't mean Apple has compromised on performance. Photoshop and AutoCAD were among the third-party titles name-checked as working on Retina updates during the WWDC keynote this week, and no doubt there are hundreds of others bringing their apps up to speed, but for the moment it's a reminder that life on the cutting-edge comes with some usability compromises.

It's not only native software that suffers, but webpages in browsers other than Safari: FireFox and Chrome are distinctly underwhelming in how they render sites, with text and images each looking like they've had a run-in with a dot matrix printer. Apple uses a similar scaling-up system for non-Retina apps as on iOS, which means you get software that's usable in terms of on-screen size (rather than tiny) but blurred and pixelated.
