    That is why I hope the next OSX in this WWDC will fix that. I actually think Windows 7, 8.1 and now 10 has had tremendous improvement in performance, security etc. It has leapfrog OSX in many ways apart from some compatibility quirks and UX.
    I hope people don't get me wrong I love the new features in both iOS and Mac OS, I just don't like the massive performance regressions that at times are difficult to understand. As far as iOS goes Apple needs to stop painting the shingles and get to work on the interiors. By this I mean many of Apples iOS apps need more compatibility with the functionality seen in their Mac counterparts.

    As for Mac OS like, I said address some of these unexplainable performance issues. Some things run like a Cheeta on my new Mac but something's appear to be coded by an amature. Also Apple needs a new file system solution that does away with the sluggishness of HFS.
    Speaking of WWDC i hope they will do something for Small enterprise as well, It seems many business are finally ready to upgrade their Computer System with Windows 10. This upgrade cycle is going to be huge. And as far as I can tell Apple will be missing out on it.

    Apple apparently doesn't care! The iMac, nice as it is for consumers, is totally no go for corporate America. The Mini isn't bad but it isn't the midrange machine many businesses like to place on desks. It is a shame that business isn't more flexible as I'm pretty sure Mac OS could really be a positive influence and far more prodUctive.

    Here is a little blurb on AMD's HBM: http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/hbm. Why it is in a directory called "software-technologies" is beyond me.

    Obviously this has little to do with SkyLake today but I can see Apple adopting such chips as soon as they can. There are benefits beyond performance, one being smaller GPU "boards". A SkyLake based iMac paired with one of these chips would be very nice indeed. If AMD can build this into their pro chips the Mac Pro would get one hell of an update too.

    I was hoping to see this technology in Apples products mid year. It doesn't look all that good now but you all might understand why I'm frustrated with my old MBP kicking the bucket forcing me to buy a new MBP early this year. We really are on the verge of a new generation of hardware from Intel, AMD and whomever else is about to adopt some of these technologies. I can see Apple moving to 3 D tech in its A series by 2016. Not that they aren't doing some forms of multi chip modules today but the thru via tech really ups the ante.

I base this on my current experience with a brand new Briadwell based MBP 13". For the life of me I can't figure out why Preview and sone other apps beach ball so bad. If I had the machine heavily loaded at the time a beach ball might be acceptable. This isn't the case though.



    In a nut shell it really looks like Apple needs to do something about the performance of the operating system and supplied apps. New processors won't solve the problem is Apples code continues to get slower.



    I've never had my machine beachball on me once!
