I thought the new macbook was built for performance, so how could it have a worse cpu than the old standard Macbook?
In what way is the cpu worse?

The retina display model is much thinner than the original macbook pro, so it could be related to heat dissipation I suppose.
In any case, the original version can be ordered with a higher spec cpu…
The new 22nm ivy bridge processors are faster than the older sandy bridge at the same clock speeds.

I need to buy Logic, cant wait to see what all the fuss is about…

Seems to be some misunderstanding going on… I’m not talking about the older versions of the macbook pro.
When the retina display version was introduced, the standard models were upgraded as well, so they all have the latest model cpu’s.
