[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1762701, member: 110816"] Almost every generation of the MBP has been upgrading to the newer generation of the processors. The 2015 is on Haswell, 2016 on Skylake and 2017 on Kabylake. Those are the 4th, 6th and 7th generation of processors. The newer processors are packed with more transistors and capable of performing more actions within the same time as the older models. If you were to take a 2.5GHz Haswell, Skylake and Kabylake processor, the Kabylake is likely about 40-50% faster than the Haswell and about 20% faster than the Skylake. You can checkout the Geekbench scores (which primarily tests CPU performance) to get an idea. I had a 2012 2.2GHz 15" MBP and upgraded to a 2016" 15" MBP and the overall performance is quite nice, with the faster CPU, faster SSD.. Going all-in on a later 15" model will run over $2k.. [/QUOTE]
