the fastest MBP 13 from 2012 that I found was 6600, so your answer makes no sense in reality. If you had a higher end 15 inch from 2012, the Geekbench was 12000, so yah even pretty much faster than that, especially comparing the high end in the 2012 to to the low end now as you are doing. Of course if you compared the high end 15" MBP today, that is 30,000
Your cynicism does not appear accurate in the least
Still 14nm. No buy until Intel 10nm or AMD 7nm.
A product not being right for you doesn't mean it's not right for plenty of other people.
As if you would ever buy an Apple product.
The 2017 was a dual core, the 2019 is a quad core, the single thread performance improved marginally, the multi-core performance doubled, which is unsurprising since the core count doubled.
Can you write iOS apps on iPad?
Its funny, everyone who actually has one, loves it. Except of course the people who write-up lots of complaints in articles. Buy a sleeve, don't trust your laptop to dust in backpacks, et, and you will be fine. And, if not, free repairs for 4 years! Thats way better than Dell
Double the cores and of course it's going to be 83% faster in multi-core benchmarks! Duh!
The real stat is only 6.8% faster than previous gen in single core. That shows the 7th and 8th gen core performance isn't that different. There needs to be a 10% increase for a user to begin to see or feel it.

Disagree. iPad Pro is useless for most professional applications. It’s fine for browsing Facebook, though.
Well iOS 13 has mouse support and can connect via USB. done criticism solved!
You're not, at least not yet. But to suggest the iPad is a "glorified smartphone" when it will soon be able to run the full version of the most powerful and popular photo editing app in the world is absurd.
my how condescending! Many professionals use tablets for lots of purposes. Just because certain functions are still best served on desktops and even laptops, does not make the other professionals less professional.
You mean free KEYBOARD repairs for 4 years. Dell has standard 3 year bumper-to-bumper warranty on many of their business Latitude laptops and don't have a need to offer extended warranties due to a crap design keyboard.
For many people it is, don't be a scrooge. Just because you can find areas where it is not, does not mean that in many areas it is. It is pretty crazy to say because it does not meet all needs it does not meet its own target market very well.
And aren't adobe and others releasing packages just for iPad Pro? what about that?
I agree with sirozha. Most applications that professionals use are not on the iPad Pro, and even if they were, it's easier to use a laptop or desktop. Artists have the Apple Pencil but with no mouse, the iPad is gimped for everyone else, IMO.
There was nothing condescending in his post. He didn't even address "professionals"...he addressed applications.
Have you ever used Activity Monitor? Almost no app out there is not multi-threaded and spread across multiple cores. And running more than one application at a time clearly benefits. Did you check the calendar? This comment does not seem appropriate for 2019 at all.
I believe once the official release (GM build) is out, a lot of you guys with iPads, especially iPad Pro's are going to be amazed! Right now it is hit or miss hooking up SD cards etc...but that will be all sorted out. Also, I am not sure if you watched the keynote, but Adobe is brining the full version of Photoshop (just like what you would get on macOS) and more of their programs to iPadOS. For people who have not even seen the beta in action (assuming it stays that way all summer) then you will be so excited to see how amazing and powerful iPadOS is.
Finally, iPadOS...the OS that will get us the closest yet to utilizing the full power of the X-series chips in the iPad Pro's.
The answer to all parts of your question is yes. Did you miss wwdc? The strength of full computers is in multitasking and no more any of the things you mentioned. iPad is no longer a glorified smartphone and hasn’t been for a while. Probably don’t make a comment like this next time until you have actually used an ipad to get work done
