A new Geekbench result posted earlier today appears to be from Apple’s next-generation 15-inch MacBook Pro. The machine, with the code name of “AAPLJ45,1” doesn’t reveal itself as a Retina or non-Retina display model. However, it has been rumored that Apple will be phasing out the non-Retina models in favor of an all Retina display lineup.
The benchmarked 15-inch MacBook Pro, which carries one of Intel’s new Haswell processors and 16 GB of RAM, received a Geekbench score of 12497, roughly in line with the current generation of the machine. But as was seen with the MacBook Air released last month, Haswell’s biggest benefit comes in efficiency, with Apple being able to boost the battery life on those machines to up to 12 hours.
The benchmarked machine boasts a Core i7-4950HQ running at 2.4 GHz, and intel’s new high-end Iris Pro 5200 integrated graphics.
The MacBook is running a custom build of OS X Mavericks (13A2052), with a Boot ROM dated June 24th.
