Apple introduces first 8-core MacBook Pro, the fastest Mac notebook ever

Apple updated MacBook Pro with faster 8th- and 9th-generation Intel Core processors, bringing eight cores to MacBook Pro for the first time. MacBook Pro now delivers two times faster performance than a quad-core MacBook Pro and 40 percent more performance than a 6-core MacBook Pro, making it the fastest Mac notebook ever.¹ These new processors, combined with powerful graphics, the brilliant and colorful Retina display, super-fast SSDs, the Apple T2 Security Chip, all-day battery life and macOS, make MacBook Pro the world’s best pro notebook.

Powerful Performance Boost for Pro Workloads

MacBook Pro is more powerful than ever for compiling code, processing high-resolution images, rendering 3D graphics, editing multiple streams of 4K video and more. The 15-inch MacBook Pro now features faster 6- and 8-core Intel Core processors, delivering Turbo Boost speeds up to 5.0 GHz, while the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar features faster quad-core processors with Turbo Boost speeds up to 4.7 GHz.When compared to the fastest quad-core 15-inch MacBook Pro, the new MacBook Pro with 8-core processors is up to two times faster, so:

• Music producers can play back massive multi-track projects with up to two times more Alchemy plug-ins in Logic Pro X.

• 3D designers can render scenes up to two times faster in Maya Arnold.

• Photographers can apply complex edits and filters up to 75 percent faster in Photoshop.

• Developers can compile code up to 65 percent faster in Xcode.

• Scientists and researchers can compute complex fluid dynamics simulations up to 50 percent faster in TetrUSS.

• Video editors can edit up to 11 simultaneous multicam streams of 4K video in Final Cut Pro X.
