Make the most of every Millisecond

With the fastest mobile processors available and up to a 60 per cent boost in graphics performance, you'll do more than ever. Faster than ever.

Hyper-Threading technology allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core. For example, on a quad-core processor, OS X recognises eight virtual cores so the processor can spread tasks more evenly across them.

Turbo Boost: Processor-intensive applications like Aperture and Final Cut Pro benefit from extra power. And Turbo Boost provides it, automatically increasing the speed of the active cores - up to 3.7GHz. So your work just goes smoother and faster.
