MacBook Pro 2017: Next Iteration Of The MacBook Pro Likely To Boast Apple's Own Chip [VIDEO]
Vinay PatelDespite the recent launch of the fourth generation of MacBook Pro, tech enthusiasts are already clamoring for the next generation of the portable computer rumored to arrive this year bearing a 'MacBook Pro 2017' moniker.
Although official details about the 2017 iteration of the MacBook Pro are scarce, the purported device has been subject to all sorts of rumors and speculations. The latest buzz revolves around a specific hardware update for the MacBook Pro 2017.
Apple MacBook Pro 2017 could come powered by the company's own chip that is said to consume comparatively less power, according to a report from Bloomberg. Citing insiders familiar with the matter, the publication suggests Apple is hard is works on a new processor that could dethrone the current Intel-powered processor for upcoming Mac laptops.
However, the report clarifies that this does not imply Apple will part ways with Intel. On the contrary, the acclaimed chip maker will continue to be a part of Apple's coveted line of laptops, but there's a catch! The MacBook Pro 2017 will use an Apple-made chip based on ARM Holdings Plc's technology.
Internally codenamed T310, the said chip is a successor to the T1 that fires up last year's MacBook Pro devices. It powers the OLED screen which is embedded into the current generation MacBook Pro's keyboard; however, with the advent of the 2017 MacBook Pro just around the corner, there's hearsay that T1 could be assigned additional functionality.
Apple's engineers are leaving no stone unturned in their bid to use the T310 to disburden resources from the Intel's processors to enable the "Power Nap" mode. The said mode activates once the laptop is shut and enables the system to run a slew of low-power functions including email retrieval and calendar syncing, BGR reported.
Regrettably, the MacBook Pro 2016 didn't quite sweep consumers off their feet with some users reporting erratic battery life among other problems. However, Apple didn't take too long to address the problem and rolled out a single fix in macOS 10.12.3 beta 4 that boosted battery life across devices.
