Maybe, for a lot of reasons, Apple simply prefers to stick to its own internal cadence, not Intel's. Maybe it's that some generational speed bumps (aka, 4th gen Haswell to 5th gen Broadwell) don't transition as smoothly/stably as Apple would like (as was the case with 15-inch MBP, which stuck with Haswell for a couple of years). Why is Apple always behind PC makers when upgrading to next-gen processors? My take: Caution on Apple's part. And it bears repeating that Apple is also expected to offer a 32GB RAM configuration on the MBP 15. But Apple puts more emphasis than most PC makers on battery life and portability, even on its high-end MBP 15. These more-power-frugal GPUs aren't as fast as Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1050/1060 (the 1050 is used, for example, in the Dell XPS 15). But there have been complaints about Apple's choice of the AMD Radeon Pro 450/455/460 graphics processors (GPUs).

I have the Skylake MBP 15 and it's more than fast enough for what I do. One of the more interesting narratives to surround Apple in recent years holds that the company has either forgotten or simply doesn’t care about pro users anymore.

It's not across-the-board for everything but I see it on many performance-intensive tasks.ġ5.4-inch MacBook Pro: expect the Kaby Lake-H processor, a quad-core processor with a TDP of 45 watts and larger cache memory than the U series dual-core chips. New Mac notebooks, new iPad Pro and the most awaited, Amazon Echos competitor Apples Siri speaker may be unveiled at the. A lot of new advancements and exciting upgrades are on the way.

That upshot, I'm seeing typically seeing (via benchmarking) anywhere between 10 and 20 percent performance jumps over Skylake.
