Intel announced Xeon processors for laptops the day before yesterday, and we immediately got a hint of what the most powerful models could offer MacBookfor Pro or iMac with Retina display. However, we do not know much about Xeons with the Skylake architecture, and it is highly likely that we will learn about them in a few weeks or months. On the other hand, these are not the only processors that feature the Skylake architecture, and this advanced architecture will probably be included in all Macs that will be released in the coming years or months.
MacBook Air with the Skylake processor, however, it will most likely not be released until the spring of next year, but we already have an overview of what we can expect. This is mainly due to the escape from the workshop Fanless tech, which revealed to us details about chips that have really low consumption and at the same time offer an increase in performance compared to the current generation. The new chips consume only 15W, and they are models from the 6200 to 6600U series.
Apparently, we could expect a significant increase in performance, given that the base model, the Intel i5-6200U, would offer a chip with a frequency of 2.3 GHz, while today's base model MacBook Air offers a chip with a frequency of 1.6 GHz. Another alternative could be the i5-6300U processor, which is 100 MHz more powerful. In addition, it will of course be possible to configure your own set with an Intel Core i7 chip, and even here we come across a couple of processors that could be chosen. The first is the i7-6500U with a frequency of 2.5GHz, followed by the i7-6600U with a frequency of 2.6GHz. All chips share the same graphics chip, the Intel HD5200. The Skylake architecture alone offers a 10-20% increase in performance over the Broadwell architecture. It also offers a more powerful graphics chip and is more economical, thanks to which the battery life can be up to 30% longer.

Any info on Skylakes in rMBP?

they could also improveoneincrease the image resolution and then it will be a blockbuster again.
MBA resolution remained poor due to sales promotion of the “new Macbooku"
achmed, that's clear to me... I think there's nothing stopping them from launching an MBA with Retina next year and thus buying up even more sales MacBookat…
