15" Retina MacBook Pro: GT 750M vs Iris Pro vs GT 650M Review!  #Helpful Post

today's video is made possible by Hulu

Plus for a free extended to a trial at

over to Hulu Plus comm slash TLD hey

guys johnathan here with TLD if you guys

remember a while back I did a comparison

of the current generation baseline

crystal L MacBook Pro which features

only Intel iris Pro integrated graphics

I compared that against the previous

generation Ivy Bridge baseline MacBook

Pro which had dedicated GT 650 M

graphics now I'm back with a comparison

of those two models against the next

here up GT 750 m equipped MacBook Pro

which is also based off crystal L now

Before we jump into the actual

performance let's go to compare the

current generation MacBook Pros as far

as pricing and what you actually get

with each model so for about 2,000 bucks

us is going to get you a 2 gigahertz

quad-core i7 CPU a gigs of ram and 256

gigs of pcie-based flash storage and

like I mentioned previously you only get

integrated graphics with this model no

dedicated GPU whatsoever now for around

2,600 bucks us it's going to see what

that extra 600 bucks gets you so for

this model we're looking at a faster 2.3

gigahertz quad-core i7 CPU twice the RAM

at 16 gigs versus eight and twice the

storage of 512 gigabytes versus 256 on

the baseline model now in addition to

the iris pro graphics you also get a

dedicated GeForce GT 750 m with 2 gigs

of video memory now it's interesting if

you actually go and configure the

baseline models essentially like Apple

is giving you the 750 M because if you

notice you bump up the CPU you double

the RAM you double the storage you're at

that same price of $25.99 except there

is no 750 M so I'm not sure why Apple

would allow you to configure this way

but regardless if you are considering

doing this don't just jump up to that

next tier because you're going to get

all this plus the 750 M now jumping over

to performance as we noted in the

previous video the crystal L iris pro

only MacBook Pro held its own very well

against the previous generation 650 M

Ivy Bridge MacBook Pro now as you can

see the crystal lgt 750 m MacBook Pro

outperforms both those with a multi-core

score reaching nearly 14,000 the single

core score wasn't as big of a difference

which is to be expected but regardless

you can see it does outperform those two

models jumping over to Cinebench r15 the

previous generation Ivy Bridge MacBook

Pro actually outperform the iris pro

crystal MacBook Pro but you can see

these 750 and MacBook Pro actually jumps

on top of both those with a score of 603

following that is luxe mark 2.1 this is

going to tell

OpenCL performance this was actually

pretty interesting as far as results go

if you take a look at the 650 M only

that's scored around 140 for K raise a

second if you jump up to the 750 mm it

wasn't much better which comes in about

149 and if you notice the hours Pro

actually outperform both the 750 m and

the 650 M so the beauty of this model is

not only do you have the 750 M but you

have iris pro as well so if you notice

that last line of 847 that's actually

what happened when I combined the iris

pro plus C 2.3 gigahertz crystal L CPU

and I got the highest score of around

847 K rays a second next up is Unigine

valley 1.0 this is going to test gaming

performance so you can see the cristobal

iris pro only MacBook Pro kind of

suffered a little bit here not having a

dedicated GPU the 750 m slightly

outperformed a 650 M but you can see

there really wasn't a huge difference

between the 750 m and the 650 m in this

specific test after that we're going to

take one more look at Cinebench r15 this

time the Open GL section and we're

looking at average frames per second now

here you can see there's actually a

pretty decent improvement from the 750 m

versus the 650 M and again both clearly

outperform the iris pro only integrated

graphics on the baseline crystal MacBook

Pro next up is dirt 2 and this was

tested at 1680 by 1050 and 2880 by 1800

now I'm sure by now you can start to see

there's a theme developing as far as

gaming goes these 750 M is just a little

bit better than the 650 m and both of

these clearly outperform iris pro as far

as gaming goes next up is black magic

disk speed test and you can see both

crystal L MacBook Pros Bowie 2020 600

Armada performed very similarly and both

are a significant improvement over the

Ivy Bridge 650 M macbook pro following

that is a 10.5 gigabyte file duplication

this can actually show you what those

previous numbers mean in terms of

real-world performance again you can see

both crystal MacBook Pros are very

similar in performance and are both

significant upgrades against the

previous generation MacBook Pro next up

is the drive and benchmark version 3.0

we're looking at Photoshop CC and here

you can actually see the crystal well

750 m MacBook Pro Alfre forms the other

two by a pretty significant amount

following that is aperture 3.5 what I

did was take 10 Raw photos convert them

into JPEG f2d percent the size and you

can see all three models perform very

closely here with the 750 m MacBook Pro

just coming out slightly on top

going to jump over to handbrake these

64-bit edition and what I did was take a

one-minute MKV file transcode that into

h.264 you can see the crystal well 750 a

MacBook Pro I'll perform both models but

not by a whole lot in this specific test

jump it over to iMovie 10 point o what I

did was take a three minute 1080p

project and export that you can see

there was around a four second

improvement over the baseline crystal

while MacBook Pro and around eleven

seconds over the previous generation 650

M MacBook Pro jump it over to Final Cut

Pro 10 this is where I saw a big

difference with these 750 m MacBook Pro

I took a 7 second h.264 clip retimed

down to 50% stabilize it added optical

flow and you can see these 750 m MacBook

Pro did that tasks much faster than both

the baseline crystal ball MacBook Pro

and the previous generation 650 M Ivy

Bridge MacBook Pro moving on to more

Final Cut Pro 10 test I took a 45 second

h.264 clip applied a blur and again you

can see these 750m MacBook Pro

outperform the other two models by a

significant amount in my last set of

Final Cut Pro 10 test they did two

things here I exported a three-minute

project and I also transclude three

minutes of 1080p footage to pro res now

you can see going down the line the Ivy

Bridge MacBook Pro took four minutes and

13 seconds to export that project the

baseline crystal while MacBook Pro did

that in 3 minutes and 43 seconds while

the 750m MacBook Pro did that same

project in 3 minutes and 13 seconds and

again you can see it outperforms both

those models with transcoding as well

next up we're looking at After Effects

CC and I have two main tests a warp

stabilized and a track camera test just

like Final Cut Pro 10 again you can see

these 750m does outperform both the iris

pro baseline and the previous generation

ib bridge MacBook Pro and it did beat it

by pretty decent amounts now like I

talked about in my previous video one

thing to note if you use After Effects

extensively and you want CUDA

acceleration you can't get that with the

iris pro only baseline crystal well

MacBook Pro for example there is a 3d

race tracing benchmark that I cannot run

on the iris pro only MacBook Pro I can

only do that on the 650 M or 750 m

equipped MacBook Pros conversely on that

benchmark there wasn't a huge difference

with these 750 m versus these 650 M

MacBook Pro moving on to more Adobe this

time we're looking at Premiere Pro CC

for a warp stabilized test again you can

see the 750 m MacBook Pro clearly

outperforms both the iris pro baseline

and

views generation 650m Ivy Bridge MacBook

Pro now that same three-minute an ATP

project I exported in Final Cut Pro 10 I

did the exact same thing in Premiere Pro

CC once again you can see the GT 750 I'm

MacBook Pro came out on top as far as

performance goes at outperforming 650m

model by about a minute in terms of

export times in just over 30 seconds

better against the baseline crystal

MacBook Pro next up is temperatures

looking at degrees Celsius in a light

load with Safari browsing and a heavy

load during a final cut pro 10 export

now because these 750 m and 650 M are

dedicated GPUs you can see they're very

similar in terms of temperatures go and

because the baseline crystal well

MacBook Pro only has integrated graphics

it performs the coolest out of these

three models so hopefully these

benchmarks help give you a better idea

in terms of what you are looking for in

a MacBook Pro and before I hop out of

here I wanna give a huge thank you and

shout out to HuluPlus for making this

video possible now I know most you guys

being on the interwebs know what Hulu is

but Hulu Plus ramps up the awesome and

is kind of like upgrading to an HD

screen on your smartphone or tablet for

the first time with Hulu Plus you can

catch up on the entire season of

currently airing shows you can watch old

favorites or even a movie you can stream

as many TV shows or movies as you want

anytime anywhere so whether that's your

ps4 your Xbox one your Roku Hulu Plus

has a huge selection of shows like

Saturday Night Live Jimmy Kimmel and of

course Shark Tank they also feature

exclusive original content like behind

the mask and the wrong mans and they

were nice enough to reach out to me and

offer those who watched eld a free

extended two-week trial by heading over

to Hulu Plus comm slash TLD now a lot of

you asked how can you help support the

channel this is a super simple and easy

way to do that it allows us to put out

the best possible content that we can

and just score a killer deal at the same

time make sure to use that link down

below to let them know we sent you thank

you guys very much for watching

hopefully you enjoy the video if you did

and you are feeling like being awesome

make sure to hit that like button it is

much appreciated I think the summary

here is if you own a 650m macbook pro

there's really no major reason to

upgrade to the current generation

MacBook Pro I would wait till the follow

up from this one which is going to be

based off the broad world platform now

conversely if you're looking to buy a

macbook pro for the first time or you

own a much older macbook pro it really

comes down to how you're going to use

your computer so if you use After

Effects you do a lot of 3d work you're

probably going to want to opt the 750m

model and as a bonus you're going to get

double the storage and double the RAM

now

don't really need that and you're fine

with the 256 gigs of storage and the 8

gigs of ram you can see the baseline

MacBook Pro actually performs pretty

well for not having any dedicated

graphics I think really the downside

with the integrated only graphics is

you're going to take a hit with both

gaming and 3d work so if you do those

and you want to do that with your

computer you're probably gonna want to

either opt for these 750m MacBook Pro or

take a look at a previous generation

refurbished 650m MacBook Pro all of

which I will have linked down below

again this is Jonathan with TLD if you

guys have not seen my Mac Pro coverage

yet that is linked right here and I will

see you guys later
