Primate Labs founder John Poole also shared 32-bit Geekbench 3 results (https://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/compare/5077000?baseline=6147867) for the new 12-inch MacBook (1.2GHz configuration) that confirms around a 15% bump in CPU performance compared to the equivalent 2015 model. The new 12-inch MacBook earned a single-core score of 2,670 and a multi-core score of 5,252, compared to 2,303 and 4,621 for the last-generation model.

Apple says the new 12-inch MacBook has an additional hour of battery life for up to 10 hours on a full charge. The improvement was made possible by **t only more efficient Skylake processors, but also due to a 41.4-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery. The original 12-inch MacBook has a slightly shorter-lasting 39.7-watt-hour battery that delivers up to 9 hours of power per charge.
- Up to 10 hours of wireless web browsing
- Up to 11 hours of iTunes movie playback
- Up to 30 days of standby time
1.3 GHz Core m7 Upgrade Option
The new 12-inch MacBook is available with a faster 1.3GHz Intel dual-core Core m7 processor as a $150 (http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook?product=MLHC2LL/A&step=config#) to $250 built-to-order upgrade option (http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook?product=MLH72LL/A&step=config#).

The upgrade can be applied to both standard configurations, which offer 1.1GHz Core m3 and 1.2GHz Core m5 processors for $1,299 and $1,599 respectively.
Refurbished Price Drop
Apple has lowered the price of refurbished early 2015 model 12-inch MacBooks (http://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook) on its online store. The **tebooks **w range between $929 and $1,319 in the U.S. depending on the configuration selected.
