The 5Y71 in the 2015 MacBook scores about the same as the 5Y71 in the ASUS T300 Chi (singe-core 2944 / multi-core 5680). The ASUS is a fanless tablet based on Intel's reference device. Looks like Apple did not have a problem with implementation, th…

Taking into account this is just speculation, it would be rather disappointing if a 2015 ATV did not have 4K support. Nvidia's $199 SHIELD console uses their high end Tegra X1 chip, which offers support for 4K 60FPS (VP9, H.265, H.264). Performance …

For those interested in current Core M 5Y71 performance: Not bad, I think the 2015 MacBook will likely do even better.

I think this is a little bit more of a wait and see situation. From what I understand, implementation is extremely critical to Core M performance. When Lenovo originally released the Yoga Pro 3 (which has a small fan) with a 5Y70, the performance nu…
