The MacBook Pro “Core i7” 2.6 GHz 15-Inch Late 2013 (a1398) flaunts a 15.4” color widescreen LED-backlit display powered by IPS, or In-Plane Switching technology. This feature affects the performance of the monitor. It can shift horizontally with ease that often produces better viewing angles with a 2880×1800 native resolution at 220 ppi.

Processor& Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

This MacBook Pro comes with a pre-installed MacOS X 10.9 (13A3017), 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 4960HQ processor, and dual graphics processors — an NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and an integrated Intel Iris 5200 Pro graphics processor with 128 MB of “Crystalwell” embedded DRAM (and shared system memory).

Memory & Architecture

Any application installed on this MacBook Pro is guaranteed to run faster.

This also centers on a 256k level 2 cache and a 6 MB Level 3 cache plus 16 GB onboard 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM for its RAM.

The system uses “Turbo Boost 2.0” that automatically increases the speed of active cores when needed to increase the performance. It goes to “Hyper-Threading” in which the processor recognizes eight cores or threads for both real and virtual.
