\n

This tier of MacBook Pro has only ever been offered in the smaller 14-inch size. Prices seem unchanged from the post-June-price-hike M5 models[…]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Tim Hardwick<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

According to Apple’s tech specs page<\/a>, the option for 16GB of unified memory remains limited to 153GB\/s. That’s identical to the M5 version, while only the new 24GB and 32GB configurations receive the faster 170GB\/s memory bandwidth. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
