If you REALLY like the size of the 13-inch but are disappointed by the GPU speed, you can always add a Thunderbolt 3 eGPU Box with high-end GPU to boost graphics performance significantly. Regarding pure CPU performance, we presented three examples (Blender, Cinebench, and LuxMark) revealing that, though the 2018 13-inch model is not as fast as the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro 6-core, it beats the 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro 4-core. Nor does it intimidate the 15-inch 2017 model with Radeon Pro 560 GPU.

When it comes to GPU intensive apps, the first five graphs prove the 13-inch 2018 MacBook Pro with an Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 GPU cannot compete with the discrete Radeon Pro 555X GPU in the 15-inch low-end 2018 MacBook Pro. (The HIGHER the rating in KSamples per Second, the FASTER the Mac.)

LuxMark lets you do OpenCL rendering of the LuxBall scene using CPU only. (The HIGHER the SCORE, the FASTER the Mac.) Render a 3D scene using all cores of the CPU. (The LOWER the time in Seconds, the FASTER the Mac.) We rendered the BMW_cpu demo scene using only the CPU of each MacBook Pro. (The HIGHER the Frames per Second, the FASTER the Mac.) Looped playback of Candle project while rendering one Noise Reduction node on-the-fly. Settings 1440x900 Windowed with Anti-aliasing OFF. We chose the Basic preset for this OpenGL benchmark.
