It bodes really well for future chips with higher power budgets. The Pro seems a bit underwhelming for what it could be though.

- bonestamp2 6y agoOn performance, ya I agree. Although, they basically doubled the battery life over the previous generation so that alone might be worthwhile for some users. I think we'll see an additional higher end Macbook Pro 13" when they start to release Apple Silicon models with discrete GPUs.
- Tagbert 6y agoThat new MacBook Pro replaces the low end of the Pro line which had a slower CPU and only 2 ports. I would expect that, when Apple brings out their next iteration of chips, they would target the higher end of the Pro line with more cores and ports along with higher RAM capacities.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoI'm guessing they also want devs of tools like docker to finish porting their software before they switch the rest of the macbooks over.
- arvinsim 6y agoThey only need to add 2 ports to the Pro to differentiate it from the Air.
