It's probably not the same design as the touch bar version, as this one much like a improved version of the rMBP13, while the touch bar version are having different lengths of blades (as official website suggested). I'm interested to see what the touch bar version offers.
@danj can you confirm this?
No one realize it doesn’t have a PCH? It’s only the T2 chip. So T2 is a PCH technically.
I wonder is the butterfly 2 actually "rubber-free?" Which means it's all plastic, so there's no worry about the aging.
Did you mean the backlight of the display, or the whole display?
Perhaps an eDRAM with integrated Graphics would make the MacBook Pro "GDDR-free", therefore it's possible to put more RAM chip on it.
