Perhaps this explains why Apple have been so slow to get their Skylake MacBooks to market.
I was disappointed other OEMs had beaten them to it, but it looks like they just dumped hardware on the market without suitable software. Apple obviously take responsibility for both.
- asendra 11y agoYeah, I was writing the same exact though before seeing your comment. Seems plausible. Maybe they didn't had enough cpu for the Iris Pro 15" macbook pro, but there seemed to be no reason why they hadn't updated the macbook/13" macbook pro yet.
- speeder 11y agoIf you visit hackintosh sites, the community is trying to make osx work properly on skylake, but there is no clear path to a solution yet either.
- usefulcat 11y ago"..it looks like they just dumped hardware on the market without suitable software" Intel has been doing this too with the NUC. If you go on the Intel forums, you'll find people having serious problems right now with Skylake NUCs [1]. Even the previous generation of NUCs (that were released over a year ago) still have major bugs with Linux. For example, there's a BIOS bug that reboots the machine instead of shutting down. They've known about it for at least 5 months now and it's still not fixed [2]. And it seems likely to affect all versions of Linux, not just some obscure variant.
