Iris 5100 vs Iris Pro 5200
I was convinced to buy a 13" iGPU rMBP but the rumour in this post says that it will only get Iris 5100 and not Iris Pro 5200.
I quickly looked on the Web and I see that their only difference (quite important though) is the eDRAM of the 5200 model. Is my understanding correct? Could more experienced users comment on the impact that it will have for a media consumer user who only plays games once a month? Will 5100 be enough to handle youtube and other flash content or it will be a bottleneck? How does it compare to the 5200 experience?

they both have updated in October in the past (but cmbp is probably being abandoned)
based of the cpu list we all expected 5100 only in the 13"
there are other differences, L4 cache, max frequency, (as well as the edram)
the 5200 is considerably better than the 5100, however the 5100 is considerably better than last year's 4600
(from notebook check DOTA 2 ULTRA, 5200 = 40.7fps, 5100 = 21.5fps)
all of the igpus are fine to "handle youtube and other flash content" they will not be a bottleneck, you should be able to play all games at at least 1024x768 on them
Less than 8 hours...
Cannot wait to click on the Place Order button, possible today?
Same here, love. In 6 hours, we'll either be passing out tissues or cigars - our baby could finally be here.
I think I'll be so proud of myself for having waited this long.
----------
The only retina on todays event will be iPad
It's possible, but I hope we see it in the new and improved Mbp.
Predictions: iPad 5, iPad Mini (w/retina display), Mavericks (possible launch) and the Mac Pro.
No rMBP, I'm thinking either next week, next month or possibly early 2014. Of course this is all speculation and I can't back it up with evidence, but this is what I think will happen nonetheless.

This has been covered repeatedly with people saying that the 13" won't get an i7 option with 5200 because the chassis can't take the thermals - then with people rebuking that saying it can easily.
Just wait and see
Yes, I've seen the list after I posted. Thanks for that.
I don't want to restrict myseld to 1024x768 because when I play games I do it on higher resolution using an external screen. It seems that I need a dGPU model then and the 13" variants can't afford it in terms of space and power. I am now confused (once again).
here are some benchmarks:
the 15" low base is expected to get the 47W 5200
the 13" is expected to get the 5100 which will be slower than the 5200
though these results get interesting:
The eDRAM is one difference. There is another one that is rly important. TDP of the chips. The Iris chips have 28W while the Iris Pro quadcores have 47W
So if you have some CPU usage too while heavily using the GPU the 28W. Hip whil probably throttle.
Livestream on AppleTV! Will almost certainly be on Apple.com - it often gets on Apple.com one hour prior to the event or so. This is going to be the best Tuesday for MONTHS!!!!
I'm actually quite surprised that the leaked (however, no one knows if they're fake) specs shows Iris Pro in all 15", and Iris Pro + 750M in all higher specs. If this is true, it'll really be a beast! However, I thought the price of Iris Pro was too high to combine with a 750M that costs almost the same as the Iris Pro parts. But we'll see.

"Noon" is very relative. It's 2pm here
yeah well i'm 1 hour away from the 23rd of october so this wait has been excruciatingly bad haha

Apple.com but only Safari, right?

Yep. Safari on OSX, iPhone and iPad (and iPod Touch)
I hope it's on apple.com too. Yesterday I thought: doesn't look like an livestream is going to happen, I should go out with some friends (7pm here in europe). If there will be a strwam for the iphone there will not be much socializing! ^^
Yup! I hope it won't have too much lag though...Livestream on AppleTV! Will almost certainly be on Apple.com - it often gets on Apple.com one hour prior to the event or so. This is going to be the best Tuesday for MONTHS!!!!

Wow, wait a second. We have an iPad in the house
(never use it) I can watch it, thanks to my iPad addicted stepfather and brother.

Great! Apple seems to do this from the events it holds at larger venues. Hopefully when they are on their new spaceship campus everything will be live streamed.
