Waiting for Skylake MBP thread

In recent years there has only been this event that's been held on a Thursday and the invites were sent out the Wednesday before.
Quite - most pro apps don't come from the app store.
This was brought about to avoid a clash with the earnings call, and to avoid pushing the event into November.
We have no idea because the two higher 6870 and 6970 have not been seen in the wild, no geek benchies no leaks no nothing. its like they don't even exist....................................................................................dotdotdot
I do, because none runs on MacOS.
Not entirely true. There is something like hackingtosch
I need to replace my imac 2009 and macbook pro 2009. So i'm buying the new macbook and converting my game pc to hackingtosch
You can even buy recommended systems that run sierra without almost none extra patches.
Because the new mac's aren't upgradable, i need to buy the more expensive model so i can still use it after 4 years.
October 16th 2014 - Thursday (“It’s been way too long.”) Yosemite & 27" iMac Retia Display release
January 19th 2012 - Thursday (“Join us for an education announcement in the Big Apple.”)
April 8th 2010 - Thursday (Get a sneak peek into the features of iPhone 4.0”)
They're not exactly against doing events on a Thursday, not like they outright avoid that day
Things just got real... (as if they weren't already!)

How does that article makes things getting real?
Its a good article, don't get me wrong. I like this piece specifically.
Well it's a bit like "the fight is on" the way it talks down Apple for their negligence of the Mac line, but also I just wanted to be playful with how I posted that article here.
Not all, but the top one yes, coming with an AMD Polaris, probably the RX 460M or even RX480M, which performances are really good, at least from the two leaked slides we have seen so far
Nevertheless, the Skylake iGPUs are more than sufficient to play Overwatch with no problems.
Maybe, but so far we didn't have rumors about it.
as above. It could be, but considering how much desired is this Mac, is going to take a lot of time to come, when not preordered in time.
Back in the thread, some months ago, we started with Xanax.
I won't tell how much we needed it after the WWDC, when we were expecting the MBP and we received instead Emojis and Watchband.
Anyway, I'm more comfortable with alcool.
Whiskey is the solution.
(But Rum and Gin are also quite good).
...instead of complaining about "the thread going off-topic", you could have read the MacRumors roundup about the MBP, or took a look to notebookcheck.net, where not only is presented Iris Pro 580 with benchmarks, but also the probably upcoming RX 480M.
They deserve that, as most of what I saw in the article is true. Apple has gotten very complacent and its competitors have already leap frogged them, in terms of design (take HP) or in component selection.
The current dgpu in the 15 inch cant even run Overwatch well at high settings, what makes you think the skylake igpu can when its around the same performance or even weaker? It can only get 60fps with low settings which is pretty bad...instead of complaining about "the thread going off-topic", you could have read the MacRumors roundup about the MBP, or took a look to notebookcheck.net, where not only is presented Iris Pro 580 with benchmarks, but also the probably upcoming RX 480M.
The benchmarks I linked you?
Or the fact that the most "rumored" features in two years of Skylake discussing were 1 - more efficiency 2 - more graphic power?
I just realised I could have been rich by now if I opened a store selling Whiskey Pro in your town.
Something that'll give you all anxiety.. Just go onto Twitter and type MacBook Pro. The amount of people proudly showing their "new" MacBook Pro is deeply saddening
Exactly what I do to access my office computer at work. It saves an hour drive. I've been doing it for years. When I tell people, especially younger folk, they look at me like I'm crazy or ancient for using a computer to use a computer. It's simple, it's clean and it's efficient.
But for him, the person you quoted, a music program utilizing a lot of VSTs will eat up cycles and RAM, so it does make a lot of sense to VNC. Or find a method of spreading the work on a network and utilizing active unused cycles and RAM to provide the rendering required.
MB fills the role of the 4.5 w processor range. MBA fills the 15 w range, MBP... room for skylake Xeon mobile MacBook Ultra (MBU) as a new type of mobile mac pro. [Would not be MMP, as USA doesn't understand German / NZ political system of proportional representation]
The fact that the Iris 580 in a lot of tasks is more powerful than the current dGPU?
Or that the upcoming AMD Polaris is quite more powerful than the current one?
Or this video I just found, about Overwatch playing with an Iris 540.
Do you even read or do you just rush to post whatever you think of? I think theres a reason why you have almost 1000 posts in here
I clearly said high settings.
[doublepost=1476619464][/doublepost]
Also, one last thing before i leave, if you look at the benchmarks of the same games (Thief and Bioshock) between the two gpus, the current m370x still performs better than the 580

Guys do you think, that Apple will continue to offer BTO-options or adopt the tier system as known from the rMB?
Like, for example, low tier with 16GB/256GB, mid tier with 32GB/512GB/faster CPU and top tier with 32GB/1TB/even faster CPU with dGPU?

No.
As you do, looks like.
Enough trying to explain you things.
Enjoy searching your answer in the past 1167 pages, mate!
Honestly, I find it laughable that people want to game on the MBP, you can get an aluminium, thin gaming laptop with 32GB of RAM and the GTX 1070(!) for the same price as the MBP if gaming is your thing...
