Apple To Offer 32GB of Desktop RAM, Kaby Lake In Top-End 2017 MacBook Pro, Says Analyst (appleinsider.com)
AppleInsider has obtained a note to investors from KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that says Apple's 2017 laptop line will focus on internal component updates, including the platform-wide adoption of Intel's Kaby Lake architecture. What's more is that Apple is expected to manufacture a 15-inch MacBook Pro with up to 32GB of RAM in the fourth quarter of 2017. AppleInsider reports: Apple took flak in releasing its latest MacBook Pro with Touch Bar models with a hard memory cap of 16GB, an minimal allotment viewed as a negative for imaging and video professionals. Responding to customer criticism, Apple said the move was made in a bid to maximize battery life. Essentially, the Intel Skylake CPUs used in Apple's MacBook Pro only support up to 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM at 2133MHz. Though Intel does make processors capable of addressing more than 16GB of memory, those particular chipsets rely on less efficient DDR4 RAM and are usually deployed in desktops with access to dedicated mains power. In order to achieve high memory allotments and keep unplugged battery life performance on par with existing MacBook Pro models, Apple will need to move to an emerging memory technology like LPDDR4 or DDR4L. Such hardware is on track for release later this year. As for the 12-inch MacBook, Kuo believes next-generation versions of the thin-and-light will enter mass production in the second quarter with the same basic design aesthetic introduced in 2015. New for 2017 is a 16GB memory option that will make an appearance thanks to Intel's new processor class.
Jobs was right. You people because you lie. Normal people are happy with what Apple provides to us. It is you hateful people that hate so much that are unhappy with what our rulers provide. I have a 2010-ear Apple that has 16 Mbytes of RAM. I have happy with that because I am a normal person and not what of your hateful kind. Your hateful kind. Apple tells me what I need. I just want to die while waiting on it to swap constantly, but I know that I know nothing compared to my betters at Apple so I waste hours every single day of my life because my betters know better. My wife beat me almost to death and then left me, but I trust in Apple rather than my wife because they know better for me. She was jealous that I spent more time with the spinning beach ball of death than her and my child. I certainly know I damn do. Know I damn do.
To squeeze in the extra RAM, they might decide they need to remove the few ports which were left. #courage
