Faster Performance
The new 8-core MacBook Pros will perform two times faster than a quad-core MacBook Pro and 40 per cent faster than a 6-core MacBook Pro.
Apart from the faster processors, the new MacBook Pros offers a new iteration of its Butterfly keyboard technology. This MacBook Pro will include the new keyboard on the new 13-inch and 15-inch screen released on 21st May.
4th Butterfly Keyboard Revision
There is no information from Apple on whether or not the new keyboard design would also make its way to other Butterfly keyboard Macs, like the MacBook Air. As the fourth butterfly keyboard revision, with the 2018 MacBook line, Apple also added new silicone guards with an intention to ward off the problems users face with the keyboard design. As early this year, Apple acknowledged that some users were facing some reliability issues. If the issues are fixed or not, is yet to be seen.
