The MacBook Pro 13" uses integrated Intel Iris graphics, which are capable enough for lots of work, but don't include proper dedicated VRAM, and can't really be considered 'pro'. The difference is similarly stark when it comes to graphics performance. If you need to compile large and complex software on more cores, you'll need the bigger one – it will save you time, and therefore money. Live 4K playback while editing is possible on the 13" model, but for 6K or 8K, you'll need the bigger one. The fact that the 13" models top out at quad-core, while the 16" models start at six-core, means that for some users, the decision of which one to get takes care of itself. You might guess that this would be about 50 per cent more powerful than the MacBook Pro 13", and in practice it really can be for tasks that really tax the processor, such as complex file exports or software compiling.Īnd then there's the higher-end MacBook Pro 16", which comes with an eight-core 2.3GHz Intel Core i9 for $2,799/£2,799. The MacBook Pro 16" comes with a six-core 2.6GHz Intel Core i7 processor as standard in the cheaper ($2,399/£2,399) model, which is also HyperThreaded, so can act as 12 cores. There's also the option to custom configure a model with a faster-still 2.7GHz Intel Core i7 processor. These processors are HyperThreaded, which means they can act as eight cores (though without the full performance a real eight-core processor can manage). There's also a $1,799/£1,799 version that features a much faster 2.4GHz quad-core chip. The MacBook Pro 13" comes with an Intel Core i5 quad-core processor, at 1.4GHz in the cheapest version ($1,299/£1,299).
