As far as I have seen in some benchmarks the new non-touchbar model (with the lower TDP CPU) is as about the same speed as my last-gen (2015) MBP 13" with the 28W TDP CPU.

So it's a lower speed CPU class but due to the newer CPU generation the performance is the same.

You can see it in a positive way: It didn't get slower

Or in the negative way: You get an actually worse CPU class for more money than the previous gen was.

Since the non-touchbar model has the MacBook Air class CPU and your 2015 MPB has the higher voltage pro class CPU I'd say that's quite an improvement.

This years "MacBook Air" like model is as powerful as last years MacBook Pro? Money should be flying out of our wallets.
