Chip used in non-TB 13": 2.0 GHz Dual Core Intel Core i5-6360u

They both seem to hit ~7100 score. And both cost the same. $304.

The only difference is that:
(1) 15W: more battery life (considering that non-TB has a bigger battery size)
(2) 15W: may tend to throttle more.

Interesting. Now it seems that the only real advantages that the TB version have are:
(1) 2 extra ports
(2) a touch bar (which may or may not be useful, depending on your usage).

Graphics-wise, the HD 540 and HD 550 doesn't have much difference either (HD 550 is 5% faster), and both should be as fast as the Iris Pro 5200 on the 15" (2015) model, which is pretty good if you ask me.
