Just bought 1.2/512 in person, taking benchmark requests

It means in practice it's a very fast SSD, especially compared to Windows laptops, many of which are still in the SATA age, which have a theoretical max at ~550MB/s.
With that said, I'm disappointed at this, since it means it did not get the new PCIe x4 SSD found in 2015 rMBP and 13" MBA. The new SSD can give 2x faster Read/Write speed.
This performance should be on par but slightly faster than most 2013-2014 MBPs and MBAs. Faster due to the newly introduced NVMe controller on rMB.
This is just sequential read/write though. I'm wondering about random 4K read/write performance, response time, etc, which arguably corresponds more to the real-world performance.
Was this on a new MB? If so, what version?
----------
Really? What are the speeds for the 2015 MBP and MBA?
Mine is a 256GB MBPr 13 from 2012. I'm currently getting 378W/435R. Relative to the MBr in this thread that's 19% better write and 94% better read performance than my current machine.
Mine comes Wednesday "before 10:30am" hehe. I can't wait.
- In the realm of 1.4 GB/sec read/write at the most, depending on SSD size.
Google it for more precise data.
How much faster is the SSD write speed in my base model 2015 MBPR? If anyone knows off the top of their head. I'm sticking with that but once these come avaliable I'm thinking of getting the wife one. Her main computer for the last year.... Her iPhone 6 plus & she never complains lol. I couldn't do it!
wow this is an impressively low score. all 2015 year model (256g or bigger) has more than 1g/s speed. though we probably won't feel any difference in daily use
----------
for 256 or larger model, should be around 1.3g/s
but you won't feel any difference in your use.
i have a 128g 2013 rmbp, and a 1t hard drive. the speed on 128 is 200w/500r and on 1t is 1000w/1000r but i don't feel any difference, at all. just a better score, that's it.

same as all the display models i played with at the store, thanks

can you upload that photo and get all the cred?
----------
depends.
128- 600w/1200r
256- 1200w/r
512- similar

This may be too time consuming, but I really really want to know...
Can you try to watch Twitch or UStream live streaming using Chrome and let us know the CPU usage and approximatly how long the battary can last?
Using my MBA 2011 13" it'll last just 4 hours (on lowest brightless) with 60% CPU usage, just wonder if this new macbook can do better or worse
Thank you!!

yes ! Please twitch !
Another reason this test would be nice is because this should be the most "intensive" task that a basic web browsing user would do (and it is one situation that inevitably forces you to run Flash
). It also causes long substained CPU use (it will never go down as long as you are watching), so we can see how this "burst optimized" CPU handles itAnother reason this test would be nice is because this should be the most "intensive" task that a basic web browsing user would do (and it is one situation that inevitably forces you to run Flash
lol just avoid chrome. use safari, it takes much less cpu usage

Really? 11-inch also got PCIe x4? iFixit said it was only the 13" models.. But they had a 128G 11" Air disassembled.
Yes. To compare, here are the speeds of my other machines...
