Wide color (P3) and TrueTone are also present on both models.The refreshed specifications for the processor and memory, including higher capacity options for both memory and storage, are also likely to make the new model a draw for power users. A major change to the design is the introduction of a physical Escape key, one which has been absent in the model since the introduction of the Touch Bar and Touch ID. AppleInsider pitches the specifications of each against each other to see how much of a difference there is between the two models, aside from screen size.In the new arrangement, all four keys are half-height, but with added space above the left and right keys to more distinctly mark out the region where the arrow keys are located. For typists keen to get away from the butterfly mechanism, they now have a portable option, complete with an extra Escape key.Memory options are also improved in the new model starting from 16GB of 2,666MHz DDR4 and rising to 64GB, whereas the 15-inch offered 16GB to 32GB of 2,400MHz DDR4.
The 83.6-watt-hour battery has been exchanged for a 100-watt-hour version. The Radeon Pro 5300M GPU has 20 compute units and 1,280 stream processors, along with a peak engine clock of 1,250MHz, giving it up to 3.2 teraflops of performance.AMD has revealed the specifications of the new Radeon Pro 5000M-series GPU options available in the just-launched 16-inch MacBook Pro, with the Radeon Pro 5300M and 5500M offering better graphics performance and an option for up to 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM.What is the true advantage of these high performance video cards and what is a use case that justifies them?Based on the standard configurations, Apple claims consumers will enjoy 2.1 times faster graphics performance than the GPUs used in the previous standard configuration.
Copyright © 2020, Quiller Media, Inc.No slouch... although I find it funny that Apple have chosen Matlab as one of the benchmarks for the new MBP. Even though the size is barely half an inch larger on the diagonal, the extra spare is almost certainly going to be welcomed by users. Radeon Pro 5300M Radeon Pro Vega 20 Radeon Pro Vega 16 Radeon Pro 560X Radeon Pro 555X; MacBook Pro Model: 16-inch Late 2019: 16-inch Late 2019: 15 … If you're referring to the iMac Pro, that was two years ago. The reintroduction of the key is likely to be welcomed by developers and those who need access to the key in applications, without having to rely on the software version in the Touch Bar.More importantly, Apple has done so with a relatively minimal increase in its footprint and thickness. Even so, users are still going to have a relatively similar pixel density on the 16-inch, with its 226 pixels-per-inch display not far off the 220ppi of the 15-inch version.You're also carrying around more weight if you have the 16-inch model, with it being 4.3 pounds compared to the 4.02 pounds of its predecessor.Apple has just launched the 16-inch MacBook Pro, one that replaces the 15-inch version of the popular notebook line. So too will the higher resolution.Both have four Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports, a headphone port, the Force Touch trackpad, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 support, and a 720p FaceTime HD camera.The most recent update to the 15-inch MacBook Pro brought with it Intel's Coffee Lake processors, with the model starting from a 2.6GHz 6-core Core i7 with a turbo boost of 4.5Ghz, while at the top end is the 2.4Ghz 8-core Core i9, which can be boosted to 5GHz.And for out next Magic trick, here’s the new iMac… Which is totally missing. From a distance, observers can easily determine the two are MacBooks, as they continue to share Apple's long-established design language.
While storage in the 15-inch started at either 256GB or 512GB SSDs and rose to 4TB, the 16-inch doubles the initial values to 512GB and 1TB and has a maximum capacity option of 8TB.Of course, the increased screen size also allows Apple to increase the resolution, bringing the 16-inch up to 3,072-by-1920 pixels, while the 15-inch has a 2,880-by-1,800 display. The similarity in design does mean it is hard to tell whether the version being held is the 15-inch or 16-inch variant at a glance, as an extra inch of diagonal screen size does impact the enclosure's design, but it is only noticeable at the diagonal.While this seems to be largely similar to the 15-inch, the processors in the 16-inch are 9th-generation versions, which generally offer better performance.Graphics options have also been updated from the 15-inch's use of the Radeon Pro 555X, 560X, Vega 16 and Vega 20, all equipped with 4GB of memory, along with integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630. For years now, the only GPGPU that Matlab has supported is with NVidia cards through CUDA, which makes this excellent card from ATI quite useless (at least for that scenario).The Radeon Pro 5500M GPU is equipped with 24 compute units, 1,536 stream processors, a peak engine clock of 1,300MHz, and can provide up to 4 teraflops of single-precision floating-point performance. To accommodate the extra screen estate while minimizing increases in dimensions, Apple has elected to thin the bezels on the side of the display, with the 16-inch MacBook Pro having much thinner bands to the sides.Battery life is up in the new model, raising the 10 hours of wireless web surfing in the 15-inch to 11 hours while maintaining 30 days of standby time.
