As a result Apple can now offer up to 32GB of RAM on the 15-inch laptop, with Apple offering a mix of 16GB and 32GB capacities at different price points. However it is possible to pair more than 16GB of memory with these Intel processors вЂ“ so long as you give up the use of low power RAM вЂ“ and this is the route Apple is taking.ДЇor the 15-inch MBP, Apple has switched to standard power DDR4 memory, which Intel supports and which is available in larger capacities. All of the 4 th generation MBPs have been limited to a maximum of 16GB of RAM this is due to Intel CPU limitations where Intel doesnвЂ™t support the current generation of low power RAM (LPDDR4) that Apple favors, and the LPDDR3 that Intel does support only goes up to 16GB.

But even if they have to pull back from their highest turbo states, for day-to-day usage the additional cores should make quite an impact on software that can suitably use so many threads, which in the case of professional-grade software is a lot more likely.ДЄpple is also using the 15-inch MBP refresh to rectify one of the biggest complaints about that model MBP, which is RAM capacity.

This is almost certainly a best-case scenario here, in part because these processors canвЂ™t run all 6 CPU cores at high turbo frequencies for very long, but AppleвЂ™s cooling design will play a huge factor there. Notably, besides offering 2 more cores than their last-generation equivalents, the new processors also have higher turbo clockspeeds, offering around 13-17% increased peak frequencies.ДЄs a result, Apple is touting a performance boost of up to 70%. The i7 will be the 8750H, meanwhile Intel only offers a single i9, the 8950HK. For Apple this is the first core count bump since the start of the Retina MBP generation in 2012, as quad-core 45W CPUs have been a staple Intel product вЂ“ and staple of the 15-inch MBP вЂ“ since then.ДЄpple has stated that they will be offering both Core i9 and Core i7 processors for the 15-inch MBP. Earlier this year Intel updated the 45 Watt class CPUs to include 6-core models, and now Apple is finally integrating these into the latest MBPs. The big news across all of these new models, of course, is the increased CPU core count thanks to the inclusion of IntelвЂ™s Coffee Lake-H CPUs.

Intel HD Graphics 530 + AMD Radeon Pro 450 (2GB)Д¤x Thunderbolt 3 (supports DP1.2 & USB 3.1 Gen 2 modes), Intel HD Graphics 630 + AMD Radeon Pro 555 (2GB) Intel UHD Graphics 630 + AMD Radeon Pro 555X (4GB)

Depending on where you stand on AppleвЂ™s Touch Bar, this may ruffle a few feathers, as it creates a much more distinctive gap between the two 13-inch models than existing previously. So this means only the higher-end models are getting the benefits of more CPU cores, True Tone, etc. That means that the non-touch 13-inch MBP, the cheapest models of the MBP family, remain unchanged with their Kaby Lake-era hardware. Specifically, only the Touch Bar-equipped models are being updated. Starting off at the top, Apple is updating most вЂ“ but not all вЂ“ of the MacBook Pros. However there are no external changes to these laptops вЂ“ their dimensions, weights, and ports are remaining identical вЂ“ so they very much fit into the existing 4 th generation MacBook Pro lineup.

The combination of IntelвЂ™s Coffee Lake processors and some of AppleвЂ™s own innovations such as their T2 controller make this a potentially potent performance upgrade for AppleвЂ™s professional-grade workhorses. Today, roughly a month after WWDC, Apple is announcing a more substantial refresh of both the MacBook Pro 13-inch and MacBook Pro 15-inch. Instead Apple has gone in a slightly different direction (more on that in a sec) but the end result is the same. So with the MacBook Pro family all but guaranteed to receive a refresh thanks to IntelвЂ™s Coffee Lake launch, we had been expecting to see new MacBook Pros around then. While WWDC is first and foremost a software development show, itвЂ™s also been a convenient event for Apple to announce lower-key refreshes of their existing hardware platforms, as the press and developers are already there and paying attention.

A surprising no-show at this yearвЂ™s Apple World Wide DeveloperвЂ™s Conference was any kind of hardware refresh for AppleвЂ™s Mac products.
