TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE! Specs and product number leaks for Haswell MacBooks

Not really, the 750M will be undoubtedly overclocked and it will allow them to leave a little headroom for heat.

well the 750M is very weak, 765 is roughly 75-80% faster chip.

I'm really hoping for 16GB of RAM in the BTO option for the 13" rMBP. I hope these specs turn out to be true

I'd expect there to be a very strong possibility of a 16GB BTO option, at least on the highest model of the 13" rMBP.

Well I'm quite happy. A 4GB baseline would definitely have crippled me as my job only buys baseline .

Thank God I got in on the 13" 8GB baseline .

Anyhow, good updates, but definitely not upset that my job didn't wait.

Unless of course they change the pricing and I could have got 256GB SSD. Oh well. As my friend who is a kindergarten teacher says "You get what you get and you don't get upset."

LOL

Yikes!

Love, love the specs - best we could have honestly hoped for. Bit I'm scared the cheapest 15" with a dGPU is going to exceed $2200 because of the bigger SSD and more RAM. If that hits $2200, I'm buying it today.

Around $2200 is my limit before applecare as well...waiting to see if there's a HUGE difference between the lower end 15" and midrange

It's not that dramatic (Apple uses the higher-spec GDDR5 nVidia parts), but yeah, it is still better, roughly in the range of 45-50%.

That said, I still think the likelihood of seeing anything higher than a GT750 or GT755 is very low, due to the aforementioned heat, noise, and cost. The GT755 isn't out of the realm of possibility since they're using it on the iMac.

If Apple still had a 17" model I could see them using a 760/765M, but between the CPU and GPU, that's just too much heat in too little space.

Everything seems reasonable, not too sure about Iris 5200 + GT 750m combo, seems a bit excessive? The performance difference between two isn't huge.

13" retina's specs seems perfect for me, really considering on swapping my 2013 13" MBA for it.

 

[Time Less]

wow the 4gb of ram for the 13" really happened!
now 16gb BTO should be a reality

Too bad it isn't like AMD where they work together.

At least they kept the dGPU.

 

[AdolfCaesar]

well I must say I am disappointed.

 

[PDFierro]

Damn, this thread was right. I'm satisfied.

They don't work in SLI. One is meant to be used for OpenCL, the other for OpenGL.

on the mac pro? source? are you sure you're not thinking about iris pro vs nvidia on the mbp?

 

[jafingi]

They don't work in SLI. One is meant to be used for OpenCL, the other for OpenGL.

Of course they don't work in SLI. SLI is an Nvidia technology. AMD uses CrossFire.

And actually we don't really know if they're seperate, or using CrossFire in the Mac Pro.

I am happy it turned out to be true!
