Does this geekbench rating tell us anything about future MBP updates?

What do you think of the new specifications?

You said 15" inch, but as a 15,2 model wouldn't this be the touchbar 13" model? For the 2016/2017 models the 13 nTB model are 13,1/14,1 and the 13" TB models are 13,2/14,2 and the 15" models are 13,3/14,3.

Also looking at Intel's ARK site:
https://ark.intel.com/products/137979/Intel-Core-i7-8559U-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_50-GHz

You can see that this model has a 28W TDP, which is inline with the current 13" TB model CPUs. The nTB models use 15W CPUs and the 15" models use 45W CPUs.

edit: The 15" models also use the HQ variants of CPUs, not the U models. I'd imagine that the 15" models would most likely use the 6 core/12 thread CPUs.

Odd that Apple is still stuck with DDR3/16GB, it's been at least 2 generations already that people have wanted more RAM than that. Also, DDR3 may no longer offer best performance/price either.

And CPU looks to be a kaby lake - again? Not much happening with the macbook line, hardware-wise. Apple could sure afford to be more innovative on this front! I wonder if 13" model will only get 2-core chips as well this year.

No it's Coffee Lake right? It's the 8th gen.

Public beta. Internally why would they put it on Sierra and then run geek bench? It won't ship with Sierra, so it will only need to run on Mojave and up. Just looks very fishy and more likely a hackintosh.

Maybe so that people think it's fake :p

Are there really leaks from Apple running benchmarks on their not yet released hardware? One would think that if Apple needs to run benchmarks they would find a way to do so without exposing sensitive data like that.

It’s hilarious that an obviously fake entry is stil being seriously discussed. GooBoyGle’s post looks legit though - this could indeed be the 13” TB coffee lake MBP. Hopefully this means that the new laptops are around the corner.
