No. Even though Skylake came out in 2015, Apple used an older CPU (Haswell) until the October 2016 MacBook Pros.

They used Skylake in late 2016 MBPs and Kaby in the 2017 models.

    I haven't seen any erratic crashes yet on code compiled by LLVM 8.1.0 on multiple projects (ROS, Qt5). I hope a microcode fix is pushed by Apple on behalf of Intel soon.
