For comparison: The GPU consumes 22-25 watts when we only stress the GPU via FurMark, so the stress test clock should be a bit lower. The consumption of the GT cores (GPU) is 18-19 watts in this case. The stress test with the two tools Prime95 and FurMark is executed with a CPU clock of 2.1 GHz (~10 watts). It is not easy to see exact clocks, especially with Windows. We can see CPU temperatures between 90-100 ☌ running on macOS as well as Windows. The Dell XPS 13 QHD+ i5 gets similarly warm, but we recorded higher load temperatures for the Lenovo X1 Carbon 2017.Īs per usual, Apple tolerates high CPU temperatures to provide the highest possible performance in load scenarios. The maximum temperature at the top is 43 ☌ in the upper area of the keyboard.
It is possible to use the MacBook on your lap, even under maximum load or when you play games, since we only measure up to 39 ☌ at the bottom. The surface temperatures of the Apple MacBook are not too high and there are only small differences compared to the predecessor. We also included the Acer Predator 17 it is equipped with the Core i7-7700HQ, which is the new entry-level CPU of the bigger Apple MacBook Pro 15 (review soon). The advantage over the old MacBook Pro 13 from 2016 is 8 or 13%, respectively (Single/Multi), so owners of the Skylake model do not have to upgrade.
While the Core i7-7500U in the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon has a small advantage in the Single-Core test of the current Cinebench R15, the new MacBook Pro 15 is 6% faster in the Multi-Test. The i5-7267U is therefore comparable to the regular Core i7-7500U (also up to 3.5 GHz), but the latter should be a bit slower due to the lower TDP and the lack of eDRAM cache. The Kaby Lake processor has two cores with a base frequency of 3.1 GHz, but it can be raised up to 3.5 GHz via Turbo Boost (for one and two active cores). The entry-level processor of the new Apple MacBook Pro 13 Touch Bar carries the designation Core i5-7267U.
