| Processor Speed: | 2.3 GHz | Processor Type: | Core i9 (I9-9880H) |
| Details: | This model is powered by a 14 nm, 64-bit "Ninth Generation" Intel Mobile Core i9 "Coffee Lake" (I9-9880H) processor which includes eight independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip. Each core has a dedicated 256k level 2 cache, shares 16 MB of level 3 cache, and has an integrated memory controller (dual channel). This system also supports "Turbo Boost 2.0" -- which "automatically increases the speed of the active cores" to improve performance when needed (up to 4.8 GHz for this model) -- and "Hyper Threading" -- which allows the system to recognize sixteen total "cores" or "threads" (eight real and eight virtual). Additionally, this MacBook Pro has a secondary "T2" processor for "enhanced security," which includes secure boot and encrypted storage capabilities as well as enhanced image processing.
