Owned a HP Z workstation (with dual Xeon 12-16 cores and professional GPU) and rMBP 2012 15" few years ago. Did not see noticeable overall performance gain of the workstation compared with the rMBP. Perhaps rendering was just a bit faster. How fast is the current maxed MBP 2017 15" compared with the best desktops in the market for simulations, Matlab/Simulink and 3D CAD applications?
