And, "just for fun," we launched Photoshop CS6. We booted from the external drive to confirm the success of the cloning process. When that didn't change things, we cloned the internal storage to an external Thunderbolt storage unit in anticipation of zapping and reinstalling OS X Lion on the internal flash storage. One engineering colleague suggested connecting the Retina MBP to an external Thunderbolt display as a way of "jostling" the GPU and forcing the use of the discreet GeForce GT 650M.

Meanwhile, two Retina MacBook Pro owners reported that they were able to check "Use OpenCL" in Preferences.
Yet the low-end 2012 MacBook Pro with the same GPU did allow us to enable OpenCL.We reported this contradiction to both Adobe and NVIDIA. (UPDATED June 28) In our original posting, the Retina MacBook Pro exhibited a slow iris Blur render time of 185 seconds because we could not enable OpenCL in Photoshop preferences. This is primarily a CPU test that uses multiple CPU cores to reduce noise in a 169 MB (6096x4558) test image.
So we've chosen a mix of tests that show you the performance advantage (or disadvantage) of a given CPU and GPU combo.Ģ010 MP 3.3 = 'mid 2010' Mac Pro 6-Core 3.33GHz Hex-Core Westmere with 24GB of RAM and Radeon HD 5870 GPU (1GB of video memory) + OCZ Vertex 2 3Gb/s SSD (boot drive)Ģ011 iMac 3.4 = 'mid 2011' iMac 3.4GHz Quad-Core i7 with 16GB of RAM and Radeon HD 6970M GPU (2GB video memory) + Factory Seagate HDD (boot drive)Ģ012 RMBP 2.7 = 'mid 2012' Retina MacBook Pro 2.7GHz Quad-Core i7 with 16GB of RAM and GeForce GT 650M GPU (1GB video memory) + Factory 6Gb/s SSD (boot drive)Ģ012 MBP 2.3 = 'mid 2012' MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 with 16GB of RAM and GeForce GT 650M GPU (512MB video memory) + TransIntl SwiftData 6Gb/s SSD (boot drive)Ģ011 MBP 2.5 = 'late 2011' MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Quad-Core i7 with 16GB of RAM and Radeon HD 6770M GPU (1GB video memory) + OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6Gb/s SSD (boot drive)Ģ012 MBA 2.0 = 'mid 2012' MacBook Air 2.0GHz Dual-Core i7 with 8GB of RAM and Intel HD 4000 GPU + Factory 6Gb/s Flash Storage.Ģ011 MBA 1.8 = 'mid 2011' MacBook Air 1.8GHz Dual-Core i7 with 4GB of RAM and Intel HD 3000 GPU + Factory 3Gb/s Flash Storage.

As some of you already know, Adobe software is increasingly handing off certain functions to the graphics processing unit (GPU) because it is faster than using the central processing unit (CPU). Continuing in our series of real world tests, we wanted to see how well the 'mid 2012' Retina MacBook Pro handles Adobe Photoshop CS6 compared to other recent Apple laptops and one popular Apple tower.
