Put more simply, from the New York Times, «Examining washing -
machine waste water, they found that 1900 fibers can rinse off a
single garment during a wash cycle and that those fibers look just like the microplastic debris
on shorelines.
Ahead of last Friday's launch of the new Retina MacBook, we saw several early benchmarks for the entry - level notebook running a 1.1 GHz Intel Core M processor,
putting CPU performance for the new
machine roughly
on par with the 2011 MacBook Air according to Geekbench.With the
machines now available for purchase, we're starting to see Geekbench results for the mid-range 1.2 GHz processor, revealing a significant performance boost over the low - end chip for multi-core benchmarks, but less so for
single - core testing.It will take a little while for Geekbench results to firm up as the
machines work through their early housekeeping tasks, but the best results we're seeing so far for the 1.2 GHz model are approaching 2600
on 64 - bit
single - core tests and over 5300
on multi-core tests.
