New Intel Dual Core i7 processor

Is the new Intel DUAL CORE i7 processor an improvement on the quad in the new 13" MacBook Pro - or a size thing?

I have a 1st gen Intel Quad core i7 in my 13" late 2011 model. But model age means I have started to miss out, I discovered today;

I can't Airdrop with my 5th gen iPod touch without a cable...(so I eMailed it)


I only just scraped in with the Dual Display.

You have a dual core... not quad (15/17" have quad cores)


Here's your benchmark score:

I couldn't find a score for the 2015 macbook pro yet, not many people have submitted this processor, sorry.


I don't use AirDrop, so it's not a critical feature, as I prefer Dropbox to move files and photos between devices as needed.
