Presumably this means there won't be a major refresh to the 15" model announced at WWDC and available immediately or shortly, something Apple likes to do. I guess this is no surprise due to the lack of high-end Broadwell... Personally, I'm still hoping for a slightly higher resolution screen eventually.
- amirmansour 11y agoDoes this mean MBPs with 5th gen Intel Boradwell chips won't be available till next year?
- _stephan 11y agoThey probably jump straight to Skylake. Maybe in Q4.

- laichzeit0 11y agoI think they're waiting for Skylake. Wireless charging, 4K/5K external displays at 60hz, better battery, etc. Skylake is the "major refresh" everyone that knows anything is waiting for.
- sosuke 11y agoAny good single source you'd recommend to encapsulate all that makes Skylake the obvious next hardware upgrade to the MBP line? I've been waiting for the right time to upgrade and I'd love something to read about the future. This is the first I've seen it mentioned.
- laichzeit0 11y agoSorry I don't know of a single source. The Wikipedia page for Skylake is a good start, as well as the section for Thunderbolt 3.0. You'll get a good sense of what capabilities this is going to unlock.
- vardump 11y agoOnly Cannonlake will get AVX-512 performance boost. That doubles SIMD processing power. Skylake Xeons will have AVX-512, though. So having a brand new Broadwell laptop, my next one shall have a Cannonlake (or better) CPU.
