I'm really hoping this happens. I would consider upgrading my 2014 MBP if they did this. This year/model (2.8 GHz Intel Core i7) is still one of the top 10 performing models on Geekbench! [0] The bump to 32GB and leapfrogging 2015 desktop iMacs would seal it for me, assuming there's an option for no touchbar.
If the desktop-class RAM rumour is correct, that probably means they'll be beefing up the batteries to account for the higher power drain.
EDIT: I suppose this isn't necessarily correct - assuming that Intel can support LPDDR4 in new chips OR Apple can use LPDDR3 rather than having to take the approach that Dell did with the 32GB XPS-15 [1][2].
