13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display benchmarks appear, launch rumored before October

“Test results for an unreleased ‘MacBookPro10,2’ model first appeared in Geekbench logs in late June. The authenticity of the listing, which was brought to AppleInsider‘s attention on Tuesday, cannot be verified,” AppleInsider reports.

“It shows that a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8 Build 12A2056 uploaded Geekbench data on June 29.

Citing anonymous sources in the supply chain, the report said it is believed the new MacBook Pro could launch before October.”
