It's hardly a matter of "if" -- it's simply a matter of "when." Now that Intel's
Haswell CPU has found its way
into the MacBook Air line, it's a given that Apple engineers are actively looking for ways to cram that very silicon into the rest of its laptop range. If a newly uncovered
Geekbench report is to be believed, it looks as if the 15-inch MacBook Pro could be next in line.
The report (pictured in full after the break) details a machine packing a 2.4GHz Core i7-4950HQ and 16GB of RAM, and while there's no discrete GPU shown,
Primate Labs' John Poole has informed
MacRumors that the benchmark may have simply missed it during testing. At any rate, the score itself isn't anything to write home about -- it's pretty much in line with the
existing generation of MBPs -- but the real magic is apt to reside in the eventual battery life claims. If the next-generation Pro follows the Air, we'll see similar performance and nearly twice the longevity.
Mission accomplished.
