Waiting for Broadwell MBP Thread

The big picture that they keep delaying a lot of things? Haswell v2 was never intended to happen, that platform was meant to go straight to Broadwell.
And you are analyzing based on assumptions just like everyone else so perhaps check yourself.
Where are you seeing 1800MB/s ? When I had a Retina MacBook Pro I got 1GB reads and 800MB/s writes. The Mac Pro gets about 1.25GB read and 1GB/s write on the 1TB SSD.
i was mistaken, think a while ago read somewhere 1800.
you are correct, "only" 1.2GB max.

Just saw this mockup on the Verge, thought I would share it:

Would love to see 4k.
I hate concepts - because they mostly show what everyone wants, and then we don't get, haha.

If no one minds me bringing up some off topic discussion, what do you all think about apple's coloring of the next redesigned rMBP? I'm assuming that if they change the color at all, it will only be to Space Grey. That would suffice very well for the entire MBP line-up because it sort of splits the difference between Slate and Silver (not white). I don't think they'll ever offer two options of colors (silver/bare, and space grey/and-or slate). However I feel like if they were to do a new color then it would be during the next redesign of the rMBP (maybe this year, or next). Thoughts?
I'm not really sure Apple would change the colour of the rMBP, a Space Grey or Black (to match the Mac Pro) redesign would look a bit dark and eerily similar to the beige boxes once ridiculed by Apple.
Hehehe, I found a mockup of a Black and Slate rMBP:

Looks like Slate to me. I would love that color, but Space Grey is more silver-like.
I know that's the Broadwell thread, but we're approaching to the Back To School promotion (it should begin on July) and almost the exactly same number of days are passed since the last update with the old one, in according to the buyer's guide.
It's possible to hope in a speed bump this month end?

This is what I'm wishing. Ready to push the button on a new 15 RMBP but theirs no way I'll buy last year's @ this point.

I doubt the MBP will see a speedbump like the Air.
Intel promised Broadwell after the Back to School period but before the Holidays, so with any luck we will see Broadwell in Sept or Oct. My guess is October, making it a late 2014 model.
This is a minor thing, but I really hope they add HDMI 2.0 to the rMBP. Refresh rates for 4k are pretty bad with HDMI 1.4 (30Hz for 3840 x 2160, 25Hz for 4096 x 2160) and HDMI 2.0 allows for 4k at 60hz.
Well, we may see a speed bump if the Broadwell rMBP is coming out in the first months of 2015, as many user in here suggest.
I really hope the new Broadwell model will be ready for October/November, but there are no many chances unless Intel will provide the chips first for Apple.
Anyway, right now the Apple Store is down…
The articles by numerous websites on the new iMac are a bit misleading as they all forget to mention that the processor can TurboBoost up to 2.7Ghz from the base clock of 1.4Ghz.

Intel promised there will be plenty Broadwell during the holiday season, but indeed you never know. Imo 2015 is too late.
Apple always gets the chips from INTEL at very early stages...
By now the Broadwell has already been tested by apple, and maybe the new boards are in production. The problem could be the limited amount of Chips at this time.
They new Macbook Pro has to became available in day one in high quantities and with 24 hour delivery time
