Huh. Not sure why I read that as i9. Just the same, there are other things wrong with the benchmark, not the least of which is that processor on 10.13.4.

And would they really continue using identifier "MacBookPro14,3"? Don't even basic spec bumps get an extra integer added to the end?
If it is using DDR4 it must be desktop memory, since the Core i7-8750H doesn't support LPDDR4. That suggests a new motherboard and structural changes to cope with more heat produced by the memory." -No, u mean they would be using either regular voltage laptop RAM, or two soldered modules of 16GB of Low Powered DDR4. It is not a heat issue, but space for the battery issue in the latter possibility and slightly more power draw.
LPDD4 is not supported by the current crop of i9 i7 processors. It would have to be regular DDR4, with all that entails.
6-core, 32GB ... LPDD4.
Doesn't that sound suspicious? Unless it is 16GB, Apple would say that they could not do that in the form factor of the current MBP coz of battery life issues. Guess will have to wait and watch.

Why would Apple say that?
They can say that two years ago, but not another two years. It will be laughable to stuck in 16GiB for 4 years.

Intel mobile processors for the MBP that support LPDDR4 are now becoming available so why do you think Apple would not be using LPDDR4 in 4 years, or even with the next spec bump to applicable Intel processors?

But could be Optane DDR4 if the machine isn't going to be released till much later in the year.

Which one? Either i7-8750H, 8850H and 8950HK are not supporting LPDDR4. Not even the low-power U and Xeon Mobile. If you ask about the future, well they just announced that “14nm will be leading the next 12-18 month days ago, If you want to have a refresh then, that’s the fourth time.

As previously stated, Cannon Lake will support LPDDR4, which looks to be coming in about 6 months. I can't even imagine why you think that it would be delayed for 4 or more years.
Why are people saying it isn’t true? Don’t you guys want a new MBP? I really need one as my current 2015 model blew out its monitor this week. I *really* need them to do an update so I don’t have to buy the current line. What are the real chances of an update tomorrow? 60%? 70%

Why assume that people questioning the validity of something also don't want something to be true? People that are open to the truth are willing to accept it regardless of what it is and actually look for answers regardless of their personal desires.

The good news is the latest shipping Mac will definitely be available tomorrow. 100% guaranteed.

“And so, therefore we’re comfortable with the 14-nanometer roadmap that will give us leadership products in the next 12 to 18 months, as we seek to optimize the cost structure and yields of our 10-nanometer portfolio.”
that suggests another 14nm refresh within the next 12-18 month, then finally with 10nm, which the latter will be another year and half. We can see some core M and core i3 being produced, but then it’s not “volume production”.

I've read from late 2018 to early 2019 so I averaged at around 6 months. Either way, it's coming down the line so I don't see why you'd make a statement about 16GiB being the max in 4 years. I can't see how any potential delay would make Cannon Lake take more than 48 months.

Well, Intel will probably update their 9th generation processors with 14nm again if it’s in 12-18 months. If you count the month, 10nm will be somewhere around mid and late 2019.
I guess they finally understand that Intel were just as slow as their current speed of refresh... Their 10nm were way too ambitious, which is why they just keep optimizing the 14nm ever and ever. Then again, 14nm have its limit, and every new processors are just getting hotter and hotter. Their microarchitecture haven't change since Skylake either because the same reason (Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, (and refresh?), Cannonlake), making it the longest cycle in their history.
I'm not certain that these specs are legit. There is no i9 support in 10.13.5, let alone 10.13.4 as specified in the benchmark. I guess we'll see.
I doubt it as well, but Apple could easily apply a patch to it during a local build of the same version. It is too easy to spoof these "Apple benchmarks" that we see from time to time.

Wow if True.
