Now that the iPhone 6S and iPad Pro have been revealed, Apple fans are likely to put the pedal to the metal regarding rumors about the MacBook Pro 2016. After all, it's pretty much the last Apple product subjected to a lot of unconfirmed buzz that has not yet been unveiled.

The latest buzz about the upcoming MacBook Pro is that the device, or the entire line, may also be equipped with Intel's Skylake processors, instead of the AMD chip that are in current models.

"Previously leaked Intel slides reveal that the Y series Skylake chip, which is the fanless architecture used on the MacBook, could deliver up to 17% faster CPU performance and 41% faster GPU performance," Tech Radar reported. "Intel revealed that the integrated Gen9 graphics of the Skylake processor can drive up to three 4K displays at 60 frames per second."

Further, Apple may use various types of the Skylake Core M processors Intel developed in order to add variety to the resulting product's price range.

"Like the Core i processors on the MacBook Air and Pro series, Intel may rebrand its Core M processor to target different tiers, with a Core M3, M5 and M7," the tech news source added.

Meanwhile, Inquisitr noted that this shift to Intel chips will herald new and improved features in the MacBook Pro 2016 line.

"The new chip will support 3D modeling, simulation, data analysis, and intensive gaming on the MacBook Pro," the site said. "The new MacBook Pro will see even greater battery life due to the power saving benefits of the new chipset."

"It is possible that the MacBook Pro could see battery life extend into double-figures, bringing it into line with lower-powered tablet devices," the news portal added.

Right now, based on the reports of the Apple laptop coming through so far, it looks like the upcoming Pro line will be no less sharp than this year's releases, like the Macbook. In fact, its been touted to be a considerable improvement of the current crop of Apple laptops.

"It's very possible that the 2016 MacBook Pro could see a big redesign with an even thinner body than before, but it'll be interesting to see where Apple draws the line between performance and size," GottaBeMobile predicted. "The MacBook Pro is meant to be a workhorse for professionals, so it needs to be powerful and have enough room for high-end components."

The tech news source also speculated that there may be a change in the composition of ports in the upcoming laptop model.

"For instance, instead of having the power port, two Thunderbolt ports, two USB ports, HDMI, and SD card slot and a headphone jack, Apple could slim it down to a couple of USB-C ports, a headphone jack, and maybe keep a Thunderbolt port for the power users," the site said.

Apple has not confirmed these rumors yet, so we'll have to wait until next year to know for sure.
