All of this is paired with 8GB of LPDDR3 memory running at 1866MHz.Īs ever with Apple, there’s a wealth of customisation options available, but they’ll add a hefty chunk to your bill. Theoretically, this model shouldn’t be any slower than last year’s model, as long as Apple’s cooling system is up to par and the processor is able to run at maximum speeds when the going gets tough. Let’s hope for a mid-year Kaby Lake refresh in 2017. This is simply down to Intel’s rollout of the chips the dual-core models with Intel Iris Graphics on board aren’t available yet. You might notice that Apple hasn’t used Intel’s seventh-gen Kaby Lake processors. The base clock speed of the chip has been reduced from 2.7GHz to 2GHz, although the maximum Turbo Boost speed is the same 3.1GHz. The base model in the lineup features a newer processor over last year’s entry-level device, upgrading from a fifth-gen Intel Broadwell up to a sixth-gen Intel Skylake.

So far, so great – but processor performance is perhaps the biggest stumbling block with this MacBook Pro 2016. Performance, battery life and screen Review.
