Here’s how fast the 2018 MacBook Pro 15 will be

With Apple announcing recently that it has dropped a 6-core 8th-gen Core i7 8750H into the MacBook Pro 15, there are two things we know for sure: The first is that the boost in performance will be huge. The second—it still won’t be faster than the fastest PC laptops.

Sure, you could say we’re just being haters because we heart PC. But unlike the iPad and iPhone, Apple doesn’t make its own CPUs. It relies on the same ones PC laptops have been using since at least April. All of the testing we’ve done already on Intel’s), the 8th-gen Kaby Lake G (), and the 8th-gen Coffee Lake H () lets us say with high confidence just how fast the new 2018 MacBook Pro 15 will be when it ships.
