    So, my understanding of the 8550u in the 9370 is that it has been configured to run at ~27w settings.

    Would this suggest that the recently announced 28w U processors with Iris graphics might make their way into the chassis as well?

    They have in the past, though the chassis has marginally shrunk in size since 9360. IIRC, the 9350 (sometime after launch) offered Iris Pro graphics with the eDRAM cache.

    IMO, it's a better use of the TDP than 2 extra CPU cores (for my purposes).
