I would wait for the next generation MBP. Should be in the next few months and a 2013 MBP is very solid and capable.

Sure. I won't have the money for the new MBP, but I am excited for it. I was able to get the current MBP (early 2015) through work. As an aside, I bought it 2 weeks ago, and called about the e2015 distinction.

However, I just mean do the ghz mean anything? In 3 years the flagship MBP has moved .1ghz about. From a hardware stand point, is the type (e.g. skylake) a bigger indicator of performance than 2.9ghz or something.

I guess in most basic terms, for all intents and purposes, how much faster is a 2012 MBP with intel i5 2.6ghz v 2015 MBP with intel i5 2.6ghz. All other things equal?
