SWEET ... are you saying with this tweet that the 13/14" upcoming early 2020 MBP will get 6 cores ... 6 cores and 12 logical cores?! Hott-damn baby!!

I don't know why people are convinced there is a 14 inch MBP coming.
At least I haven't seen any reliable sources foretelling its release.
Updated smaller MBP? Sure, I've seen those rumors, but none have offered any evidence of a 14 inch machine.
I am thinking about purchasing this and want to know if I would notice a considerable difference in performance from my current setup:
Late-2015 iMac 27"
4.0GHz quad core i7
32GB RAM 1867MHz DDR3
I would like the option to get up to 64GB RAM but not sure that will be available in the MBP 13"
Thank you for any advice

Magsafe I think is dead.. but on m current 2015 I am using magsafe.

What are you doing that needs 64GB ?

Hi,
Getting the 2015 battery replaced isnt that hard.
Because existing applications are not compatible with ARM and they will need an interpreter from x86 x64 instructions to ARM which would have a performance hit and/or recompile every existing application to ARM instructions.
My iMac routinely gets into the 20-25GB RAM usage when I am merely surfing the internet, especially forums
(I just made a thread re: Apple Mail using 1.3GB RAM almost as its default HERE)
The iGPU on the G7 suffix Ice Lake parts shows a big improvement. They are Iris Plus with 64EU. (The G4 are 48EU and the G1 only 32EU.) Ice Lake has Gen 11 graphics. The entire die is fabbed on 10nm, both CPU and GPU.
AnandTech has a pretty good write up.

I’m waiting. I figure they have to update the 16” with wifi6 and intel 10th gen in the middle of the year, assuming Intel‘s fabs cooperate.

Yep. The touchbar actually makes touch typing WORSE. If they’re going to insist on keeping that thing, they need to provide some separation from the keyboard, or make it taptic (so you have to actually press it, not just touch it), or put back the function keys and move it above that.
But they won‘t.
The title says it's a certainty while the story says it's a possibility.
It's misleading.
10th gen technically, but the 45W H-series parts on the roadmap this year are Comet Lake 14++(+?) 😖
WiFi 6 support for sure.

yeah, but we know there’s no chance of AMD, so we get what we get. And I’d rather get that part than pay for what’s essentially the same part as last year.
New keyboard and I'm in on day one. Been waiting a LONG time with my 2014 MacBook Air.
These things better not come with only 8GB RAM standard and 128GB drives. It’s not 2013 anymore.
Yeah it’s definitely be an upgrade, 5+GHz 8/16. Wifi 6 is good.
btw I misspoke Comet Lake does support LPDDR4X but Apple switched to DDR4 a couple years ago for 64GB. Wouldn’t be surprising if they went back to LP RAM with Comet Lake.
Of course MagSafe is dead. But MagSafe would still make it perfect. And aftermarket products don’t count.
16Gb RAM / 256Gb SSD in base model please! Its not 2012 its 2020...
So, no 6 core i7 option? SadAnandTech Forums: Technology, Hardware, Software, and Deals

Does 13" really mean 14? This could be my new machine. Would love 16" but just too heavy for international mobile travel.
I expect apple to change the design of the 13" pro. Right now the 16" and 13" do not have a consistent design, which is very unlike apple. Apple will definitely release a smaller MacBook pro that has the same design as the 16". Same narrower bezels, scissor keyboard, separate escape key, seperate power key.
The only thing to be seen is how they achieve the consistency. Whether by retaining the same 13.3" display size and reducing the overall footprint, or by retaining the footprint and increasing the screen size to ~14".
I believe it is going to be the latter, as reducing the footprint would be hard. A smaller footprint would mean a smaller battery, less room for the new keyboard and less room for the speakers, worse thermal performance. Internally the components might have to be repositioned. From an industrial point of view, this would require an entirely new mould (rather than just increasing the thickness of the existing mould, if they retain the footprint) which would cost more. It simply doesn't make sense
As for the leaks, the leaks for the 16" increased only a few weeks before the launch. It wasn't until the 16" icon was found in MacOS. Most leaks are based on supply chain, that is, China. Right now, due to corona virus, the supply chain is barely functioning. Right now no analyst would risk their life just to get info on a laptop from someone working in one of the affected factories. This is a major reason why I believe that new laptops will be release during WWDC, in June.
So yes, a new, redesigned small MBP is coming.

The Titan Ridge TB3 controller will allow the XDR display to be driven at full-resolution so that should be standard on the new 13" MBP regardless of CPU generation.
Or they are using Chrome as their browser.
AMD is not an option in laptops. Battery life is not competitive in any device I've checked. They've improved, but Intel still does much better in laptops (although in that one metric, ARM-based CPUs blow both of them out of the water. Makes you wonder).
