Almost close to its rumoured release on October this year, the MacBook Pro 2016 show up has been spiced up with some matters about its new features the market has yet to discover.

AMD Inside?

Recent reports are speculating that this MacBook Pro 2016, through the Cupertino-based technology firm, will go away with Intel's seventh-generation Kaby Lake processing chip. It will rather go for the AMD to support the new 64-bit A10 Fusion chipset. This rumour change is somewhat concluded also, as the root cause of the delay in the awaited laptop's release.

Currently, MacBook Pro laptops have Intel Core i5s, i7s processors to support them. Thus, these processors in the released MacBook Pro laptops will remain even if Apple will go for AMD for its MacBook Pro 2016.

Basically, some predictions say that the MacBook Pro 2016 laptop can be availed according to two variants as far as its RAM is concerned. Like for the other released MacBook Pro laptops, 8GB RAM and 16GB RAM is available. Surprisingly, teasers tell that for MacBook Pro 2016, a feature of a SSD (solid-state drive) is built-in and can be upgraded into as huge as 1TB.

In addition to the speculations, MacBook Pro 2016 will show-off an OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display touch bar placed on the top of its keyboard. Now for the ports, it may likely to feature a USB Type C port and a Thunderbolt 3.

When it comes to the resolution, a VineReport statement claims that MacBook Pro 2016 could possibly display 5K with a resolution of 5120 x 2880 pixels.

Since the unveiling of the MacBook Pro 2016 has already come to a near-end, these reports and rumours will be given with clarity and confirmation later on.
