It is no secret that we will see new MacBook Pros this year as well. This year's 13″ model is also expected to offer a new keyboard with a traditional scissor mechanism instead of the problematic Butterfly, which has been criticized practically since its launch in 2015.

And while Apple hasn't announced the new 13″ MacBook Pro yet, the company is already testing it. This is indicated by the leaked 3D Mark Time Spy benchmark. It implies that the new generation will offer a quad-core Intel Core i7 of the tenth generation with a frequency of 2,3 GHz and Turbo Boost up to 4,1 GHz for one core. Compared to the current higher model, it could offer up to 21% more performance.

The device was directly compared to the current MacBook Pro 13″ model with four Thunderbolt ports. In its basic configuration, it offers a quad-core Intel Core i5 of the eighth generation with a clock speed of 2,4 GHz and Turbo Boost up to 4,1 GHz. According to the leaker who published the benchmark, Apple could also offer 32GB of RAM in an optional configuration for the first time with this computer. Likewise, the 2TB SSD configuration should remain.

As for the chip, the Intel Core i7-1068NG7 is Ice Lake's top-of-the-line U-series mobile chip and features an integrated Iris Plus graphics card that is 30% more powerful than its predecessor. The chip also consumes only 28W. What is also interesting about the leak is that the frequency of the graphics chip is not mentioned in the benchmark, while the predecessor offered a chip with a clock rate of 1 MHz. This could simply be a bug due to the fact that this is a pre-production model and may not immediately mean that the device will offer a dedicated graphics card along the lines of the 150″ MacBook Pro.
