Why does Apple Hardware Test on my mid-2012 say it’s a Core i7?
It’s kind of minor, but the Hardware Profile (currently AHT Version 3A244 loaded from Internet Recovery) description has pretty much always described my hardware as the following:
Product details:
Macintosh name: MacBook Pro
Macintosh Model: MacBookPro9,2
CPU Type: Intel Core i7
Number of Cores: 2
It just seems kind of odd. I did set up a USB flash drive for AHT loaded from an image on the Apple website for my machine. That one comes up as AHT Version 3A237 and that lists the CPU type as “Dual-core Intel Core i5”.
However, every other version (including the one that was on my original hard drive) says that it's a Core i7 for whatever reason.
