hi all. i've kind of been out of touch regarding computers long time i'm wondering if can answer this. mbp updates either have minor improvement, or have huge architectural change (eg. penryn -> arrandale -> sandy bridge) tends brings huge changes (core 2 i7 quad core). i'm kind of wondering, when next major improvement be?
here's timeline:
jan 2006 - core duo cpus (yonah), ati x1600 [huge upgrade on powerbook]
oct 2006 - [cpu speed bump]
jun 2007 - core 2 duo cpus (merom), nvidia 8600m gt (128mb) [huge cpu & gpu upgrade]
feb 2008 - core 2 duo cpus (penryn), nvidia 8600m gt (256mb) [minor cpu & gpu upgrade]
oct 2008 - core 2 duo cpus (penryn), nvidia 9600m gt, ddr3 ram, redesign [moderate cpu & gpu upgrade, redesign + ddr3 ram]
mar 2009 - [cpu speed bump]
apr 2010 - core i7 cpus (arrandale), nvidia gt 330m [major cpu & gpu upgrade]
feb 2011 - quad core i7 cpus (sandy bridge), ati 6770m [major cpu & gpu upgrade, thunderbolt introduced]
oct 2011 - [cpu & gpu speed bump]
tba 2012 - predicted quad core i7 cpus (ivy bridge), ati 7770m, usb 3.0 [moderate cpu & gpu upgrade]
above in opinion best , worst times upgrades mac pretty based on hardware basis of how of improvement there regards cpu & gpu.
know when next big jump , quarter released? i'm not expecting ivy bridge of jump i'm assuming it's gonna 1 after haswell, right? has rough idea when haswell mbps come out? q1/2 2013? q3/4 2013? 2014?
appreciated, thanks.
