Looks like the top-end i7 also has 2MB extra cache

I spent some time comparing the specs of the CPUs available in the new retina macbook pro today.

I thought the only difference was 100 mhz. It's also 2MB more cache.

Of course I know in the real world this isn't much, but I just thought it was worth pointing out.

Mine's ordered :D

I would hope people paying for it already know that. Hopefully no one would do it solely for 100Mhz more per core.

But for 0.5 MB of cache extra per core it is one helluva bargain :rolleyes:

Lol. I don't think anything about the retina macbook pro is a "bargain!"

Mine is almost "maxed out" i.e. 16gb RAM and 2.7ghz. However, I did not get the 768GB flash option. 512GB should be enough for me until i upgrade again in a couple years - at that point I'll move to 768...

I think the rMBA is priced as well as it can be and in comparison to the Air is a bargin.

I maxed out to 16 gb in memory. However, I did not upgrade the SSD. With TB and USB 3, if it more than possible to add a very fast external minidrive more economically.

On my PC, I just added a 1TB external 3.5" drive with 6gbs throughput and it runs very fast. I expect the same on the rMBA.
