Why you dont want fans? it will instead throlle cpu when gets hot, is that what you want?

You might be surprised.

I wonder how much of a performance difference an ARM Mac will really have over an Intel one. Will it be faster or will it ever crash or get stuck in certain applications? I'm just not sure if I am ready for that change. I'll probably wait for the first couple of years after those devices have been released. I think the biggest hurdle will be to get all the current application makers who don't use the Apple Store platform to get on board with changing their apps to support ARM. I'm not sure how easy or difficult that process is.

REALLY hope this is a 16" refresh with the 5600M as the base model!

Interesting that if you customize the 16" in the apple store, the 5600m options ship much quicker than the other two...

Thankfully, I have an outgoing 13 inch MBPro i7 on order. I am hoping it should see me through the first few years of software issues that the ARMs are bound to have.

So this is what MacOS is taking so long. They are launching with Apple based Macs.

2018 15” still rocking strong, but I want a more leightweight device since the iPad is still far behind. I am really looking forward to ARM-based Macbook Airs.

Getting super excited for this. Will hopefully be purchasing a ARM Mac on day one.

Well Tim Cook did say he's excited for a few upcoming products. Given he's a farm boy a few usually means 4 or more.

This is what I would be looking for, but do these exist in a mobile format?

Hopefully though an AS macbook at 14” is released, no fans, long battery and competitive in speed.



I also agree that this is an iteration with basically a new OS rather than new hardware as such. And is definitely not the same as a new launch product like the phone, ipad, watch etc.

Because notebook GPUs are sold exclusively to OEMs, their existence is often not disclosed to the public until notebooks ship. This was the case with the 5600M - it appeared on AMD's site on June 15, the same day as Apple announced it.

Apple announcement.
AMD announcement.

I just need an intel based 16 inch 2020...that is all I need. hopefully with better camera and wifi 6.

This explains the 4-5 week lead time for replenishing my Mac inventory at work.

Yup, that’s what I want

this will be the update to the 2020 16"er ... 1080p front facing camera and the intel 11th gen chipset integrated with Wifi6 (but no 6e) and an updated radeon 5xxx graphics chipset

Told ya.

 

[Nicole1980]

Told ya.

The issue is whether they'll throttle when pushed hard. TBD.

 

[CWallace]

The issue is whether they'll throttle when pushed hard. TBD.

The MBP and Mini should not since they have active cooling fans.

 

[Yebubbleman]

not a big jump if you already have the current 16" mbp

Most people don't upgrade from one rev to the next. Not enough disposable income in the world for crap like that.
