WWDC Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference coming soon, from the current perspective venue banners appear, the software is bound to be the focus, but is expected there will be some hardware product updates, especially accompanied Intel introduced a new section four-generation Core processor, MacBook series should debut at the event.
Intel's next-generation processor platform code Haswell was seen during Computex officially open, the parties are expected during the conference Apple will also have a corresponding section for this update, but generally expect a new generation of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air in addition to using Haswell platform, two models of some of the specifications may vary slightly adjusted.
MacBook Pro design which may become thinner, and the limited changes in the appearance of the MacBook Air, but in the internal addition to the processor, the memory will be the first use of general use in the smart phone Mobile DRAM (LPDDR3). MacBook Air Mobile DRAM main reason to switch to natural power considerations, although Intel Haswell known to increase standby time, up to twice as much to achieve. According to understanding, using the new architecture Haswell in measured, in addition to high-end i7 series, the other existing i3, i5 series processor Intel claimed it seems difficult to achieve twice the standby time, perhaps this is the Apple MacBook Air shift to Mobile DRAM one of the reasons.
As for the memory rising cost difference there? Apple MacBook Air is currently used as DDR3L memory, a new generation of MacBook Air is used LPDDR3, currently this specification can not be found in DRAMeXchange offer. In with multi informed, upon request from the DDR3L replaced with LPDDR3 specifications adopted under, the memory may increase about 60% of the cost, but the memory is not high proportion of the overall share, coupled with Apple's purchase volume, relatively inexpensive, and should therefore be Apple is still within an acceptable cost.
Generation MacBook Air with the current version of the same memory is soldered directly on the motherboard, unable to expand, Apple also offers built-in 4GB and 8GB as two versions are expected to 8GB may still belong to the same customer with the existing models set to transparent over the network or from a DOS purchase orders, because Taiwan does not have Apple outlets, so some dealers also sold directly 8GB models.
