MacBook 1.2Ghz Geekbench score

I compared it with my late 2012 MacBook Pro. http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/compare/2295233?baseline=2312701
I'm sold. 1.2/512GB on its way.

But why would you expect that the 1.3GHz would be above 2500 single core when the 1.2GHz dropped down to 2200 compared to the 1.1GHz which got 2400 single core?
I expect the 1.3GHz to be down to 2100 or 2000 in single core. They don't get better with increasing frequency because the additional turbo generated heat throttles the CPU more resulting in overall slowing performance. Geekbench tests are mostly continuous loading of the CPU.
These are the 64-bit geekbench results for the 1.2 GHz so far: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/search?q=macbook8,1+5y51+bits:64
For some strange reason people only care about the one score where it gets 2272 single-core. Why ignore the one where it gets 2593 and outperforms every other 1.1 GHz?
Anyway, we need more data before we can see the whole picture.

You have latched onto a few outlier results and wrongly extrapolated them onto higher clocked 1.3Ghz chips, which we haven't even seen yet. While ignoring the higher 1.2Ghz results which have been quoted throughout the thread.
No, on average 1.2Ghz and 1.3Ghz chips won't be "slower" than 1.1Ghz.
There is a new 64-bit score for the 1.2 GHz: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/2317459
2569/5151 is also faster than what we have seen from any 1.1 so far.

I would want to see the 1.3 scores before ordering any version. What if the 1.3 is way faster?
Also isn't the 1.3 the only one that supports intel's new vpro?

Just order one like a man.
BTW, just out of curiosity, what does VPro usually mean for the ordinary people ?
Yes, 5Y71 is the only that support VPro: Please refer to this post --> https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1860684/

Not sure it means anything outside of a corporate environment that requires remote administration of the machine.
Is there a new VPro in 5Y71 or is it the same as what has been out for several years?
