13-inch Retina MacBook

Late last month, test results for an unreleased “MacBook Pro 10,2” device running OS X 10.8 and powered by a 2.9Ghz Intel Core i7-3520M Ivy Bridge chip first surfaced in Geekbench logs. According to the sole listing for the system, it earned 7806 points.

While being significantly less than 10999 points scored by the new 15-inch MacBook Pro featuring a Retina Display and a2.3Ghz Intel Core i7-3615QM CPU, that’s still more than scores of about 5000 awarded to 13-inch MacBook Pros released in early 2011.

They went on to make a third iteration which was even faster, cheaper, had a second USB port and a second alternative; the 11 inch model which was the ‘road warrior dream’.
