I saw that. I want to know how the poster has "confirmed" that the "high-end" rMBP will use this processor. There's a difference between what someone thinks is likely and what is confirmed.
Like all the threads that were certain the Haswell rMBPs would be announced at WWDC.
its just an informed guess ...
it could be anything, high end MBP can either use 4558U, or 4288U. (both Iris5100)
based on the current model retina model, the high end processor is using i7.
so the 4558U most likely will be chosen.
besides, it will look good if you upgrade from an i5 and i7 rather than i5 to i5.
though we all know its just another market ******** by intel.
I think that the 13 inch rMBP biggest weakness is the mediocre graphics.
Waiting for the Haswell chip with Iris graphics should be worth it.
By the way, I couldn't find the Haswell rMBP benchmarks you guys were talking about... Can someone post a link?

Well I have contacts in Apples supply chain. If Apple is going to use a 28W part for their laptop, they are not going to use a different wattage part for the others. Thermals are designed way ahead of time, they know what wattage they want to use for their laptops.
If you really want to know. I also said based on info via my contacts in Apples supply chain back in early 2011, that Apple was buying more 'nand' than usual and that would use all SSD's or a hybrid aproach for the imacs, and laptops in early 2012 and 2013. On this site.
Guess what happened.
I also predicted the current smartphone landscape as it stands now back in 2007 almost to a 'T'. That was six years ago on Howard Forums.
That also came to pass, almost exactly like I said it would.
I own and operate a marketing firm and I am a analyist for a company that I own. I have access to the same info that other 'so called analysits' have. That appear on these rumor sites so much. I also provide some info to others, which is why I don't post on howardforums any longer. Got in hot water over it.
The 28W intel haswell processors are showing up in Apple's supply chain. That is how I know. I predicted based on info in the supply chain back on June 4Th. that they are going to use a 28W i7 haswell. Long before this info came about on the 28W i5.
I only happened to look at the geekbench numbers for the 28W i5 on this site and contacted my contacts in Apple's supply chain. Last week only the i7 28W part was showing up, now they both are. There is another i5 28W showing up as well.
My take is that Apple is going to use the 28W parts for the Retina 13. If not two maybe all three. Like they are now.
My prediction based on supply chain info.
128GB Retina 13=Intel Core i5-4258U
256GB Retina 13=Intel Core i5-4288U
Upgraded:
256GB Retina 13=Intel Core i7-4558U
----------
It wasn't a guess. I called the i7 28 watt part on 4th june earlier in the thread, way before the info came to light. There was not a mention on any site about a 28W part.
