Stunning evidence that Apple frequently sells vastly inferior hardware at vastly inflated prices.
Proves nothing, Catnip. Buy used and BROKEN parts from old computers at bargain basement and below prices, cobble them together and get them to work and then claiming a good result at 1080P graphics, is not building the equivalent of a computer with modern NEW parts with a 2560-by-1600 Retina display which will far out-perform that kludge.
If he is going to build a desktop Hackintosh, he should be comparing his performance to a desktop Mac, not a laptop. Strawman comparisons are worthless. . . especially using non-like processors based solely on gross processor family names.
The processor he he found on that motherboard he used to build his kludge does not have either the same sustained clock speed, which these days is essentially meaningless, or the burst speeds the newer I5 processors in new MacBook Pros have, no matter WHAT he claims the clock speed shows. They are NOT the same processor just because they are both utilizing an intel I5. There are many variations of the Intel I5 processor with different capabilities, power, and heat ratings, nanometer wire sizes, etc.
