Which of the macbook pro: 2015 or 2016 is more productive?

Question

macbook

Hello everyone, I decided to purchase a 13-inch firmware and the question arose regarding the performance of the devices. At the moment, the 13-inch macbook pro of 2015 is represented by the Intel Core i7-5557U processor, its 16-year-old counterpart is the i5-6360U. 3.1 GHz vs. 2 GHz, but everyone says the new macs are comparable in performance to the previous generation macs. I'm not very well versed in hardware, so I'm asking for your advice on whether Skylake family processors are really more productive at a lower frequency in relation to Broadwell.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1

Watching what to do.
For 98% of typical tasks, you won't notice any difference at all.

Answer 2

The new Macbook Pro 2016 also has a Core i7 model. In terms of processing power of the processor, the difference will practically not be noticeable by eye on those tasks for which MacBooks are usually bought. But there is a big BUT. The HD540 video card (for 2016 models) is much more productive than the Iris 6100 (2015), and the Retina screen is the bottleneck in the firmware, so a significant boost in the performance of the video card should affect the overall system responsiveness for the better. Pro retina 2013-2015 work relatively smoothly, but if you compare them head-on with the same Air (which has lower performance in benchmarks), Air is surprisingly more responsive in terms of interface, because. it has to serve about 4 times fewer pixels. In general, if the lack of MagSafe, USB and a card slot does not bother you, you need to take a new one, if it bothers you, then I would recommend Air or a 15" model with discrete graphics. Integrated graphics on a 13" model is clearly not enough for such a display. Those who did not have the opportunity to compare head-on may consider this behavior normal. But even the simplest examples of the well-known agar.io turns the macbook pro 13 "into an oven and slows down, while on Air it plays absolutely smoothly.

You can just compare:
ark.intel.com/ru/compare/91156 ,84993
From the obvious, one has max 16GB of RAM, the second has 32GB.
In terms of speed, I don’t think you’ll notice it so much, but I would take the latest generation
