MacBook Pro 2018 will be equipped with Intel Coffee Lake processors

Last year, Apple used Intel's Kaby Lake series of processors in the updated MacBook Pro lineup.In addition to switching to

more powerful and energy-efficient CPUs, the 2017 revision did not receive any other major changes.In the same year, according to the Geekbench benchmark, Apple will again addMacBook Pro processors with a new architecture -- this time we're talking aboutabout Coffee Lake.

In particular, it passed the benchmark test15.2-inch MacBook Pro running macOS 10.13.6 with an Intel Core i7-8559U processor. This is a 4-core chipset model with 8 threads and a base clock speed of 2.7 GHz, which can be overclocked up to 4.5 GHz depending on the load. In the single-core test, the new MacBook scored 4448 points, in the multi-core test – 16607 points.

The estimated power of the Core i7-8559U is 28W,while the current generation of 15-inch MacBook Pro – 15W. The higher this indicator, the hotter the processor heats up during operation. Perhaps Apple will reduce the TDP of this chipset to 20W. Intel notes that this is possible, but this model is not used in any laptops to date.

The specs list also notes that the laptop we tested comes with 16GB of LPDDR3 memory. The current MacBook Pro line has the same amount of memory.

Perhaps Apple will announce a new generationMacBook Pro already in September – along with iPhone 2018. If this does not happen, then the next expected date is – end of the year so that the devices go on sale just before the winter holidays.
