The MacBook Pro “Core i7” 2.6 15-Inch (2019, Touch Bar) is powered by a 14 nm, 9th Generation “Coffee Lake” 2.6 GHz Intel “Core i7” processor (I7-9750H), with six independent processor “cores” on a single silicon chip, a 12 MB shared level 3 cache, 16 GB of onboard 2400 MHz DDR4 SDRAM — which could be upgraded to 32 GB at the time of purchase, but cannot be upgraded later — and 256 GB of onboard flash storage as well as dual graphics processors — an AMD Radeon Pro 555X with 4 GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory and an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 graphics processor that shares memory with the system.
Externally, this notebook has an integrated 720p FaceTime HD webcam, a revised “third generation” butterfly mechanism keyboard with an integrated “Touch Bar” touch-sensitive control that adapts for different applications and provides Touch ID login support in lieu of traditional function keys, and a gigantic “Force Touch” trackpad.
Additionally, it has a high-resolution LED-backlit 15.4″ widescreen 2880×1800 (220 ppi, 500 nits) “Retina” display with True Tone technology, and a integrated battery that provides an Apple estimated 10 hours of runtime.
This notebook is offered in either silver colored aluminum or a darker “Space Gray” colored aluminum housing (but not other colors) and weighs just a bit more than 4 pounds (1.83 kg).
Connectivity includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, four “Thunderbolt 3” ports (USB-C connector), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Compared to its predecessor, this model has a faster processor as well as a tweaked butterfly keyboard said to use different materials and be less error prone.

Each core has a dedicated 256k level 2 cache, shares 12 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 4.5 GHz for this model) — and “Hyper Threading” — which allows the system to recognize twelve total “cores” or “threads” (six real and six 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.
