MacBook Pro 2017 Latest News: Intel’s Cannon Lake Processors Delay Means New MacBook Pro, iMac With 32GB Of RAM Launches 2018 [VIDEO]
ByApple's next MacBook Pro refresh might get support for up to 32GB of RAM. Nonetheless, the 32GB of RAM of the next MacBook Pro lineup is under the condition that Intel will manufacture the Cannon Lake chips in time when the Cupertino based tech giant needs it.
Famous KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, stated that Apple's upcoming MacBook Pro lineup could get a 32GB of RAM if the Intel Cannon Lake processors make it on time with the tech giant's roadmap for the MacBook Pro 2017. The Cannon Lake-powered MacBook Pros are expected to enter production by the Q4 2017, which means the MacBook Pro 2017 along with the iMac 2017 are more likely to go on sale in 2018.
Nevertheless, recently surfaced reports claimed that Intel delayed the Cannon Lake processors for the new MacBook Pro and iMac lines. An Intel rep made it known that the delay of the Cannon Lake processors is due to development and mass production, according to I4U News.
Although Intel's first chips that are built on a 10nm process are the Cannon Lake processors. Nonetheless, the reason why the Cupertino based tech giant wants to pack the MacBook Pro 2017 with Cannon Lake processors is the support for larger amounts of random access memory (RAM). MacBook Pro fans can relax that the Cupertino based tech titan is dedicated to continuously developing the MacBook Pro.
On the contrary, Apple's SVP of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller, made it known through an email that MacBook Pro does not need a 32GB of RAM when a 16GB is already very fast. The tech titan could limit the space to avoid sacrificing battery life, which the MacBook Pro 2016 performed really well. In spite of that, the design of the upcoming MacBook Pro gets slicker and slimmer. The MacBook Pro 2017 will also be more power efficient, Delhi Daily News reported.
