Intel is expected to have the 9st generation for some date in the second quarter of 2019. What is not known are their characteristics. They will surely be the Chips that we will see in the new iMac and MacBook Pro 15 inches and of course, in the expected Mac Pro.
Today through the web AnandTech, we know some more details of the specifications of these 9th generation Intel chips. Among the main novelties will be the increase in the number of cores. Most of the current 6-core chips, will become 8 cores.
But these processors say nothing in isolation. Let's see what the configuration of future Apple chips can be. In the case of 15-inch MacBook Pro, the jump in the number of cores of the Core i7s (i7-8750H and i7-8850H) with 6 cores and 12 threads, they become the 9th generation chips (i7-9750H and i7-9850H) in 8 cores and 16 threads.
As for the star processor of the MacBook Pro 2018the controversial i9-8950HK With 6 cores and 12 threads, it will also go to a model with 8 cores and 16 threads. What we do not know in this model is the data on TDP and its base frequency. It is normal for Intel to keep the data of its "star" chip secret to show it in the product presentation and not to give clues to the competition.
In contrast, 13-inch MacBook Pro they would not receive changes in the number of processors. On the part of the iMac, we also gained number of processors. In the case of the i5-7400 chip that we see in the IMAC 4K, which has 4 cores and 4 threads, can make way for an i5-9400 with 6 cores and 6 threads. The same seems to happen in the model 5k.
This is not the latest Mac-related news today. We also know that Apple will give clues to the future Mac Pro at the developer conference next June.
