I did a search and saw the latest Intel roadmap leak shows Coffee Lake running 6-core 14nm in laptops around early 2018. What would be more interesting to me is quad-core in a TDP that the 13" MBP could handle, but that doesn't look to be in the cards for some time. However, the 10nm Cannon Lake chips could be pretty interesting in the MacBook and 13" MBP on the lower end. I'd love to have a machine that is comparable in speed to current MBPs in a 13" form factor to accompany a much more powerful six-core 27" iMac.
If people don't absolutely need to upgrade their older machines, such as to get 4K and 5K external displays and a small CPU performance bump, then it might be worth waiting for those 6-core systems. Surely by then they'll have 32GB RAM options and widespread USB-C adoption so we can stop complaining. Either that or Apple will start building their own CPUs for the Mac. Either way it could be worth the wait for those who aren't wowed by this update. They'll probably build-in that customizable keyboard key tech by then too.

Really sad that Dell is considered "next-gen design" now. Many of their monitors have looked like that for years now.
