According to SemiAccurate, Intel will provide Apple with an ultra-high performance version of its Haswell for Apple's upcoming MacBook Pros. The report claims that the chips will include a special version of Intel's highest-end GT3e (Iris Pro 5200) integrated graphics. Apple has requested a special top bin cream-of-the-crop GT3e selection from Intel, with "as much GPU power as possible." With the top chips going solely to Apple, that leaves the slightly less desirable remains for Intel's other customers.So what is Intel cooking up for Apple? Basically a GT3e with as much GPU power as possible to make up for the lack of a [Nvidia] GK114. Since that part was going to be a bit faster than GT3e, Intel had to push the limits to get every last bit out of their GPU to satisfy Apple. It looks like they did, but how much did the line move? Good question, we will know soon enough.
