The MacBook Pro "Core i9" 2.4 16-Inch (2019, Scissor Keyboard)
technically is a "configure-to-order" configuration of either the
MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.6 16" 2019 (Scissor) or
MacBook Pro "Core i9" 2.3 16" 2019 (Scissor), but also is documented as a separate model for reader convenience.
Other than processor, these models can be configured identically.The
MacBook Pro "Core i9" 2.4 16-Inch (2019, Scissor Keyboard) is powered
by a 14 nm, 9th Generation "Coffee Lake" 2.4 GHz Intel "Core i9"
processor (I9-9980HK), with
eight independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip, a 16 MB shared level 3 cache, 16 GB of
onboard 2666 MHz DDR4 SDRAM -- which could be upgraded to 64 GB at the time of purchase, but
cannot be upgraded later -- and 512 GB or 1 TB of
onboard
flash storage as well as dual graphics processors -- an AMD Radeon Pro
5300M or 5500M with 4 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory and an Intel UHD
Graphics 630 graphics processor that shares memory with the system.
Externally,
this notebook has an integrated 720p FaceTime HD webcam, a "new Magic
Keyboard" with a "redesigned scissor mechanism... including 4 arrow keys
in an inverted-T arrangement" as well as a customized "Touch Bar" with a
separate esc key and a separate "Touch ID" sensor, and a gigantic
"Force Touch" trackpad.
Additionally, it has a high-resolution
LED-backlit 16.0" widescreen 3072x1920 (226 ppi, 500 nits) "Retina"
display with True Tone technology and the option of setting the refresh
rate, and a integrated battery that provides an Apple estimated 11 hours
of runtime.

aluminum or a darker "Space Gray" colored aluminum housing (but not
other colors) and weighs 4.3 pounds (2.0 kg).

predecessor,
this model has the same processor, but a larger display; faster
graphics and RAM; a better keyboard design with scissor switches,
inverted-T arrow keys, and separate esc and Touch ID keys; better
quality speaker and microphone systems; and longer battery life.
