so for dGPU last generation had 104 fps and current generation has 105 fps...i bet not even in graphics apps or even in games you will not notice any diff
Thank you Apple sticking with AMD while Nvidia will release 990M a card that will be probably twice as fast

Wait wait, you said there was a difference some time ago... What has happened next?

Before crying have you noticed if both test were running the same OS? Os x//win

Could you post the images found? I have special interest
 
yes seems that 90 fps was from M290 and not M295x
M295x has 104fps under OSX yosemite
 
Yes I've checked, unfornunately we dont see any improvement in this specific test, but we have time to see if it is better with others tests. We will see.

What is clear is that besides the m395x, the m395 does improve in all tests seen.

Ah, dammit, I was actually still hoping that the m395x would improve over m295x by at least something...I can only hope that other benchmarks will show a difference, but with virtually 0 increase on Cinebench...
 
Here is a QuickBench test on the new 27" with a 2TB Fusion drive. This is a fresh install so it is only testing the SSD although you can tell from the write speeds that there is some logic going on behind the scenes that slows it down; likely to see whether the data should be written to the HDD or the SSD.

Wow thats insane for a fusion drive. I thought it was just a cache inside the HDD that used SATA not an actual PCIe SSD.
 
I suspect they're just using better flash for the flash-only machines...

not to mention that 128MB flash always has slow writes when compared to larger size chips...
 
But why the write speed is not as fast? I don't get that

Something with the fusion setup is holding it back, or it could be that this particular SSD is simply not as fast at writes as some of the other models. Only way to know for sure I imagine would be to separate the fusion disk in Terminal/Recovery mode, and then run a disk bench on just the SSD.

Either way, those continuous read/writes are so irrelevant. Unless you spend all day copying multi-gigabyte video files to other disks capable of such speeds, it's completely pointless. The key is going SSD. After that, how big those numbers are doesn't even interest me anymore.
