Details of new MacBook Pros appear in macOS Sierra 10.12.4 beta

It seems that the latest beta launched a couple of weeks ago hints at references to the new Apple MacBook Pros. These teams that would be listed in the beta according to the medium Pike's UniversumThey will be the ones that will arrive at the end of this year 2017 and will have the Kaby Lake processor integrated with all the improvements that it can bring to the MacBook Pro.

Actually this is something natural, that is, it is normal that we find references to new or "unknown" models in the beta versions of the operating system, but we are also very clear that for those users who are with their new equipment launched just 4 months ago They don't like this very much. In this case they are three motherboard identifiers They do not correspond to any current MacBook Pro model.

In this case differentiate three new models in this beta version:

  • The Mac-B4831CEBD52A0C4C which is almost certainly the most basic model that does not have a Touch Bar and it seems they would mount the Kaby Lake 3400 MHz and 4000 MHz processors.
  • The Mac-CAD6701F7CEA0921 they probably refer to the models with the 13-inch Touch Bar. The processor for them would be a somewhat more powerful model between the Kaby Lake of 3500/3700 ​​MHz and 4000 MHz.
  • Finally the Mac-551B86E5744E2388 which will be the 15-inch models with Touch Bar and the most powerful in every way. In this case the processor can be the Kaby Lake of 3800/3900 MHz and 4100 MHz.

It may be that the WWDC in June will show these new updated processor models and maybe even RAM, since the implementation of these processors if it would allow to reach 32 GB of RAM in Apple computers, that if in the 15 ″ computer ... Some analysts like Ming-Chi Kuo, already warned that this was what awaited us and more seeing the possibility of having the new processors available for the middle of this 2017, and is that it is not something that catches us by surprise but it again shows that being tied to third-party companies is a "drag" for Apple.

On the other hand you can also see null references for the iMac or Mac Pro, on this site, so it surprises us a bit. In addition, the GPUs would also be affected by the change and the web has made what can be a compatibility table with the new Kaby Lake processors and the GPUs that the following Apple computers could adopt. Something that is not official but allows us to get an idea:

13 ″ MacBook Pro without Touch Bar 

Intel Core i5-6360U 2.0 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.1 GHz) with Intel® Iris Graphics ™ 540 (15W) would be replaced by: Intel Core i5-7260U 2,2 GHz (Turbo Boost 3.4 max GHz) with Intel® Iris ™ Graphics Plus 640 (15W)

Intel Core i7-6660U 2,4 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.4 GHz) with Intel® Iris Graphics ™ 540 (15W) would be replaced by: Intel Core i7-7660U 2,5 GHz (max Turbo Boost 4.0 GHz) with Intel® Iris ™ Graphics Plus 640 (15W)

13 ″ MacBook Pro with Touch Bar 

Intel Core i5-6267U 2,9 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.3 GHz) with Intel® Iris ™ Graphics 550 (28W) would be replaced by: Intel Core i5-7267U 3.1 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.5 GHz) with Intel® Iris ™ Graphics Plus 650 (28W)

Intel Core i5-6287U 3.1 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.5 GHz) with Intel® Iris ™ Graphics 550 (28W) would be replaced by: Intel Core i5-7287U 3.3 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.7 GHz) with Intel® Iris ™ Graphics Plus 650 (28W)

Intel Core i7-6567U 3.3 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.6 GHz) with Intel® Iris Graphics ™ 550 (28W) would be replaced by: Intel Core i7-7567U 3,5 GHz (max Turbo Boost 4.0 GHz) with Intel® Iris ™ Graphics Plus 650 (28W)

15 ″ MacBook Pro with Touch Bar 

Intel Core i7-6700HQ 2,6 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.5 GHz) with Intel® HD Graphics 530 (45W) would be replaced by: Intel Core i7-7700HQ 2,8 GHz (max Turbo Boost 3.8 GHz) with Intel® HD Graphics 630 (45W)

Intel Core 2.7 GHz i7-6820HQ (max Turbo Boost 3.6 GHz) with Intel® HD Graphics 530 (45W) would be replaced by: Intel Core 2.9 GHz i7-7820HQ (max Turbo Boost 3.9 GHz) with Intel® HD Graphics 630 (45W) )

Intel Core 2.9 GHz i7-6920HQ (max Turbo Boost 3.8 GHz) with Intel® HD Graphics 530 (45W) would be replaced by: Intel Core 3.1 GHz i7-7920HQ (max Turbo Boost 4.1 GHz) with Intel® HD Graphics 630 (45W )

Does this mean that if I need to buy a new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar I don't have to? Well, the answer is quite complicated to answer, but if we really need the team we do not have to doubt it and launch ourselves for the current one since there is a lot to see these new Macs, but if we are not in a hurry and we can endure with our Mac until the end of year, it is also a good option. We must not think about the future and we must enjoy the present, without going crazy, but not because rumors say that we will have new MacBook Pro, we must stop buying the current ones, otherwise we would not buy anything ...

    Hopefully they present them when before with Kaby Lake and 32 RAM, because right now (2016) they are shit.

    Mine goes like God! with i7 (at 2,6) and 16 gb. I'm not complaining at all, that if a little more autonomy would not be bad at all.
