Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 15" Mid-2014 (DG)
Identifiers: Retina Mid-2014 15" - MGXG2LL/A - MacBookPro 11,3 - A1398 - 2881

Introduction Date: July 29, 2014 Discontinued Date: May 19, 2015

The MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 15-Inch (Dual Graphics - Mid-2014 Retina Display) originally was offered as a "configure-to-order" configuration of the MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.5 15-Inch (Dual Graphics - Mid-2014 Retina Display), but it later was sold as a standard configuration, as well. Other than the processor, these models are identical.

The MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 15-Inch (Dual Graphics - Mid-2014 Retina Display) features 
a 22 nm "Haswell/Crystalwell" 2.8 GHz Intel "Core i7" processor (4980HQ), 
with four independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, 
a 6 MB shared level 3 cache, 
16 GB of onboard 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM (which cannot be upgraded later), 
1 TB of flash storage,
and dual graphics processors 
-- a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and 
-- an integrated Intel Iris 5200 Pro graphics processor with 128 MB of "Crystalwell" embedded DRAM (and shared system memory). 

It also has an integrated 720p FaceTime HD webcam and 
a high-resolution LED-backlit 15.4" widescreen 2880x1800 (220 ppi) "Retina" display in 
a case that weighs just less than 4.5 pounds (2.02 kg). 

It does not have an internal optical drive.

Connectivity includes 
802.11ac Wi-Fi, 
Bluetooth 4.0, 
two USB 3.0 ports, 
two "Thunderbolt 2" ports, 
an HDMI port, 
an audio in/out port, and 
an SDXC card slot.

In addition, this model has a backlit keyboard, a "no button" glass "inertial" multi-touch trackpad, a "MagSafe 2" power adapter, and an internal, sealed battery.

* This model is powered by a 22 nm, 64-bit "Fourth Generation" Intel Mobile Core i7 "Haswell/Crystalwell" (I7-4980HQ) processor which includes four independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip. Each core has a dedicated 256k level 2 cache, shares 6 MB of level 3 cache, and has an integrated memory controller (dual channel).

* This system also supports "Turbo Boost 2.0" -- which "automatically increases the speed of the active cores" to improve performance when needed (up to 4.0 GHz for this model) -- and "Hyper Threading" -- which allows the system to recognize eight total "cores" or "threads" (four real and four virtual).

* This model has dual graphics processors -- a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2 GB of dedicated GDDR5 SDRAM and an Intel Iris Pro 5200 with 128 MB of "Crystalwell" embedded DRAM (and shared system memory). The system automatically switches between graphics systems based on use (when applications use OpenGL, Core Graphics or other graphically demanding technologies, the system will use the dedicated NVIDIA graphics, otherwise it will use the integrated Intel graphics to conserve battery life).
