Skylake supports HEVC (H.265) codec making it so much more battery efficient to encode and decode video [1]. Smaller battery consumption also means less heating issues, so that's what keeps me excited about "ultra modern" computers that none of the MBPs has.

- kalleboo 10y ago> Smaller battery consumption also means less heating issues This is the main thing for me - I'm still using a 2012 rMBP as my main machine, and I have no complaints about performance except often when you try to make the most of the performance it's capable of, it overheats and throttles down. Especially a problem in the summer.
