Likely False 13-Inch Skylake MacBook Pro Showing Up in Benchmarks

No chance of <28w quad core chips. If they make the new 13" thinner as expected then I don't see how it's possible.

I think you missed my point with your reply. I wasn't referring to the MacBook Air when I made my comment. We were talking about the 13" rMBP in that instance.

So was I. As I said, I can't see how you can make the 13" Pro thinner yet somehow squeeze a quad core CPU in there and hope to keep it cool & retain a decent battery life.

My early 2008 MBP died last year so I had no choice. I down sized to a 13" MBP and have been mostly pleased with it. The 13" screen does take some getting use too and sometimes it is just too small.

I used to have a 17 inch iMac then I got the 13 laptop. The screen feels decent. What do you feel you could do better on a 15 inch screen that you can't on a 13?

hehe... some doofus bench marked the wrong machine

3.3Ghz would be good for Apple though ... I'd buy one.

These scores are way lower then my iPad Pro ,)

It seems rather odd to me that Apple would use DDR3 memory, especially in such "assymetrical" configuration as 6GB in the new MacBook Skyline lineup. Everyone else already began to use DDR4, DDR3 is way too yesterday. I call fake on this one...

New MacBooks probably won't come with DDR4, since they don't use DDR3. Skylake don't support LPDDR4 or DDR4L, just desktop DDR4

It would fry the motherboard, since HQ's TDP is 45W and U's TDP is 28W(MacBook Pro 13") or 15W(MacBook Air)

An iPad Pro with OSX Capability?

I'm just not overly convinced they're going to go for thinner necessarily. I think the 13" will get some form of a quad.

That would be awesome.

This won't happen as Intel has no 28W quadcore chips planned.

Well, it looks like it was correct after all! All the "debunking" was wrong after all.
