I 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.
