Well Joe.. Let's wait and see if there's an event.. Folks at 9to5Mac do believe it's gonna happen.
Us Prosumers do need some new beefy machine I'm really just worried that they'll recycle the Vega GPUs as base
Recycle maybe dash it up with some tiny minor upgrade … faster SSD … head scratching
I'm hoping for a resolution bump as well..
And Navi as standard.
i always find it is best to have little expectations these days with Apple, then you wont be disappointed.

True, like zero...
Q-6
Now now .. give some faith to Apple since they already have most of. our money anyways ... huhuhuhu
I think that Apple will discontinue the 15 inch model later on, in favor for the new 16 inch.
Therefore I think that the 16 inch model, if released this fall, will be available with the same configurations as the 15 inch models, but with an increased price tag of ~$500. That makes sense for Apple's business plan, because when they discontinue the 15 inch models, the entry large screen Pro model will be $500 more expensive then before. It is also possible that they continue to sell the old 2019 15 inch base model for premium price as they did with the 2015 Macbook Pro.
I've long suspected that this will be the same situation as the first Retina - no base model at all (that comes in six months). They'll release a single configuration either comparable to the $2799 model or even higher (something like 1 TB of drive or 32 GB of RAM standard), for a decent price by the standards of current MBPs, but it'll be over $3000 to start.
CTO will be available, but up only - you can't drop down to a 6-core processor, a smaller SSD or 16 GB of RAM (if 32 are standard).
It'll be a $3000-$3500 "base", but a similarly configured 15" would be the same price or only a few hundred dollars cheaper. There may be a "bonus" standard feature - probably a better GPU - that's not available on the 15". There may also be an upgraded GPU or a 64 GB RAM upgrade that are only available on the 16".
6 months from now, we'll see a more complete 16" lineup as the 15" goes away.
If they do a high-end only release, there won't be a 256 GB option - it'll start at either 512 GB or 1 TB...
I mean sure I'm always up for more lol.. But don't go skyrocketing base prices to 3k lol
