That's the way Gruber used to leak information when he was in that game. He would do it in a cute way that made it look like nothing more than a prediction.
Got a tip for us?

Last week I sold my early 2014 13" MBA 4GB 128gb for $450 on Craigslist and $540 on eBay before I could take the listing down. So I would say that's a decent price
Thanks guys, I feel really good about my purchase now. I actually got it to sell it, and am going to try and sell it for $499. As long as I make about $100 I'll be happy.
i see. i've never followed the launch of any product as much as this one, so i never saw/heard of these guys and the way they leak stuff until now. i sure as heck hope you're right, that he's implicitly hinting at the event being on the 27th
curious: you said "when he was in that game"...what does he do now?
i live in India and since the October of 2015 have been waiting for 2 things
release of updated 15inch rMBP and the release of updated Hyundai Tucson.
Both keep Skipping Deadlines since march 2016 and now are rumored for launch in October 2016.
At this point I'm just betting with myself over which will come first.

His name is Gruber and he works with Macs and is hinting at Macs. You could call him MacGruber.
He does what he always did - writes about Apple and technology (with a sprinkling of baseball and politics) just he rarely leaks anything anymore. His reward is probably getting the likes of Phil, Craig and Eddie to appear on his podcast very occasionally.
OK, now this is extremely interesting in regards to the timing of a launch date. If Apple can get their hands on this revision in time for at launch in late October/early November, there is no doubt at all, that they have been waiting for it. Remember that they need this in the iMac too, not only in the top end MacBook Pro 15.
In a way, this is very good news because it explains why a launch next week would be too soon. 27th October looks great now, but maybe it will be a soft launch with only pre-orders right away.
Very exciting news, thanks for sharing!

This must be one of the most anticipated computers in computer history. At least since I started following Apple in the late 90's or so, I never read or felt so much hype. Especially that back in those days Apple hardly leaked anything and it was a total surprise what you will see. It was usually a totally new design every 1.5-2 years.
The funny part though, is that with these anticipated MBP nothing is going to be new or revolutionary. Most people are expecting hardware that has been on the market for at least a year now and the software is already out there. I guess most just don't want to buy last year's computer.

Key info from the wccftech.com article:
- The updated revision of Polaris 11 will not only bring down the power from 75W to less than 50W but it will also improve clock speeds and bring up the compute throughput to 2.5 TFLOPS from 2.15.
- The new revisions will be available immediately to the embedded market under the E9550 and E9260 product names for Polaris 10 and 11 respectively.
- The updated revisions are believed to be coming to the mobile market in the form of mobility Radeon RX 400 series graphics cards in the coming months.

Nothing ? Oh well see you next Thursday for more adventures & anxious waiting ... *waves*
OK, more info on the possible updated AMD GPU from http://videocardz.com/63736/amd-launches-new-embedded-radeon-gpus
The interesting part is the E9260 that comes in PCI-E and MXM A formats, both using full chip with 14 CUs and 4GB 128-bit memory. MXM is for the embedded market, while the PCI-E is for the high end MacBook Pro 15.
Here is the goodies. 4 GB Vram, max 50 watt. I would love this in the new MacBook Pro, but I don't know what the watt ceiling is in the current MacBook Pro's. They could downclock it though and shave some watt off.

…in short: if there really will be new rMBPs this month, they won't be coming with these GPUs.
The info is on that is a bit ambivalent as far as I can tell. The new AMD chips are apparently done and shipping, so I wouldn't rule out that Apple has been able to get a head start on those with the PCI-E interface.
Actually, I would bet on it that they have. John Ive is obsessed with thin and light and desperately needs those. He would go through hell to get those.
So is this now officialy the longest thread on MacRumors ?
Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple pushed AMD to do this more efficient revision ASAP. The first revision was a not-good-enough-you-will-just-have-to-do-better. AMD was schooled behind closed doors and went back to work.
Note the timing of this revision.

Why are you guys getting worked up about the invites? If the event is on Oct 27, the invites will be sent out on the 20th
It wasn't already by page 1000?
Anyway, I'm glad to see that all the "chattering" now is pointing to 27th october, plus that hint of Apple moving the date of earnings.
I want to believe, guys.
It's the 27th.
Apple watch Nike+ Available from 28th! They will show it first at the 27th at the MacBook event!
"Stay tuned" will have a whole new meaning if it doesn't come out the 27th.
I'm in category ZZZ. Waited over a year. But my iMac just couldn't keep up. This 15" is a beast! The iMac makes a nice 27" Thunderbolt display
Already recorded two songs at remote locations. Glad i made the switch. But still interesting to watch this thread.- Status
