| Details: | This model is powered by a 10-nm, 64-bit "10th Generation" Intel Mobile Core i7 "Ice Lake" (I7-1068NG7) processor which includes four independent processor "cores" on a single silicon chip. Each core has a dedicated 512k level 2 cache, shares an 8 MB 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 4.1 GHz for this model) -- and "Hyper Threading" -- which allows the system to recognize eight total "cores" or "threads" (four real and four 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.
