MacBook Pro 2016 has been a subject of numerous rumors for quite some time now, and fans are expecting the new laptop from Apple to come out next month. Although the Cupertino-based company has yet to provide specific details with regard to its development and release, fans and critics have long been sharing their own predictions on what the device can offer. Previous reports suggest that the portable computer will arrive with the latest Intel processor, the Kaby Lake. However, many fans might get disappointed as Apple might roll it out with a less powerful chip, MacRumors reported.

According to the publication, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich and his team have already introduced the company's 7th Generation processor, the powerful Kaby Lake, at the Intel Developer Forum. During the event, there were on-screen demos that shows off the power of the latest processor.

The presentation prepared by the company definitely demonstrated the performance of the new chip as it was used by two machines while doing video editing. It also shows the amazing 4K display as the machines showed gameplay footage from high-graphic demanding video games.

The new Intel processor certainly lives up to its hype.

According to reports, Intel will not roll out the new Kaby Lake processor until the end of the year. If Apple plans to release the new MacBook Pro 2016 this fall, the device will certainly not run on the latest Intel chip.

Tech experts see two scenarios that might happen with regard to the release of the 2016 MacBook. The company may want to hold off its release and wait for the arrival of the Kaby Lake processor or launch the portable computer this fall using the current SkyLake chip.

As of this moment, fans will have to wait for Apple to make an official announcement regarding the release of MacBook Pro 2016. Until then, all rumors and speculations must be taken with a grain of salt.
