CINEBENCH! AMD Radeon R9 M370X

Why did Apple release this laptop weeks before stock arrived at the vast majority of its stores? Is this normal for a silent update? I'm getting delivery dates in early June, and that's for the base dGPU version... was there a shortage of the GPUs?

I called two stores and they said all stores in the Southeast don't know when they will get them exactly, but that it would probably be June.

I'm new around these parts even though been a lurker but I'll tell you my situation. My wife and I went to the Apple store at the mall in Roseville, CA on Tuesday afternoon[not expecting them to be there and they were not] and ordered a BTO top spec 15" to be shipped to our house. Ours is leaving Shanghai today for a Tuesday May 26th Delivery via UPS. One week from Order/Build/Ship from China is pretty freaking good as far as I'm concerned. The guy at the store said we were the first person that day to buy one at that location:D.
 
Ive got big problem with this GPU. User benchmarks points to a Radeon HD7750(desktop) core count which is 512 GCN cores.

BUT, there would be no 70% increase in games and 80% in openCL performance if thats that core...

I still think its a 896 GCN core GPU with 128 Bit memory Bus.
 
Firestrike Score (Graphics):

750M:1884
370X: 2337

It looked like Bootcamp had all the latest drivers for this card during windows setup, and I checked for driver updates in the Catalyst Control Center, and it said it was up to date.

Score was about 650 under what I thought we would see. In raw numbers, it appears to be a 24% increase. I will look at drivers and possibly re-run the test to verify.
 
yep, sadly it looks like no wonders here. and no new magic energy efficient Radeon chip as well.
 
Looks like I will be selling mine when the Skylake ones come out then...
 
Not very promising on the performance gains over the 750 in 3dmark. Hopefully other games or programs will prove otherwise.
 
Curious if there are any 3dmark11 runs? I'm wondering how close it will get to the 4900-5200 of the 860m.

I think the RADEON 8870m was a 3000-ish point GPU in 3dmark11. Maybe this m370x is an improved version of that part. Its made on the same node and has 640 shaders too. Seems like the same part, diffrent clocks.

The Firestrike score of a 8870m is about 2100. That close to the m370x.

Oh no, Apple what have you done! :mad:
 
its not just m270x rebadge, its actually the same freaking chip used in desktop 7770 thats more than three years old. so freaking dissapointing..:mad:
thanks for benches and screenshots anyway.

Sorry about that, here is the GPUZ details amigo.

Thats a rebranded, slightly overclocked 8870M, aka. desktop HD 7770, aka. R9 M270/M275. This is indeed quite disappointing... I was hoping for at least 896 SIMD, for some overclocking potential...
 
Firestrike score shows that that card is a bit on performance levels of GTX765M.

Not bad at all.

Edit. If it would be ONLY rebrand the score would not be that high.

Edit again. Nope. Its simple rabranded HD7770. Not bad at all still.
 
why on earth besides the money factor would Apple go with this old inferior tech when they had GM207 in hand? :(
