Because Intel CPU Road Map Change - 15-inch Macbook Pro uses independent GPU

From the end of 2013, Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro laptop starts using the "GT3" or "GT3E" level Intel integrated graphics, "GT3E" level Intel integrated graphics card built-in DRAM, providing 15-inch Macbook Pro to provide quite strong Graphical processing performance. But Intel's latest mobile CPU roadmap shows that after the Skylake microarchitecture, the next generation Kaby Lake processor is only ready to build a GT2-level integrated graphics card, and its graphic performance is only about half of the "GT3" or "GT3E" level, let Apple can't In 2017, a new generation of 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops with strong graphic performance. The Coffee Lake chip in the second quarter of 2018 is prepared, and the GT2 level graphics card will also be integrated in the early days. For 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook AIR, the situation will be better, the leakage road map shows that the Kaby Lake chip suitable for them is launched in the first quarter of 2017, or built "GT3E" graphics card, but power consumption Demand for 15 "MacBook Pro. As for the Getting Started Product MacBook in the Mac laptop lineup, the Y series Kaby Lake processor for it has been launched. Now Apple announces a new generation of MacBook, so it does not have graphics performance issues. According to the latest CPU roadmap, Intel will introduce the Cannon Lake chip suitable for next-generation MacBook in the second half of next year, using 10nm process production. Now, Apple may be forced to use a discipline in a new generation of 15-inch MacBook Pro to use a separate graphics to improve graphical performance, and may have a negative impact on appearance size, weight, and battery life.
