16-inch MacBook Pro upgrade on the way: Intel teases 5GHz, 8-core 16-thread Comet Lake mobile processors

<p>Apple recently released the 16-inch MacBook Pro (https://www.macworld.com/article/3454905/16-inch-macbook-pro-2019-review.html), complete with a handful of welcome design features like an improved Magic Keyboard and slimmer display bezels. With Intel’s 9th-generation “Coffee Lake” processors featuring up to 8 cores and 16 threads, it’s plenty fast.</p><p>But we can probably expect it to get a little faster this year. At CES, Intel teased its new ”Comet Lake H” series 10th-generation processors (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3512376/intel-outs-radical-new-ghost-canyon-nuc-teases-5ghz-comet-lake-h-processors.html). These are higher-wattage (45W), higher-performance versions of the 10th-generation Comet Lake mobile processors announced last year. That 45-watt power envelope is perfectly suitable for the 16-inch MacBook Pro. It uses Intel’s current 9th-generation 45-watt mobile processors, after all.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3512149/16-inch-macbook-pro-upgrade-on-the-way-intel-teases-5ghz-8-core-16-thread-comet-lake-mobile-process.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
