#NEWEST MACBOOK PRO SOFTWARE UPDATE UPGRADE#
The CPU performance is definitely no reason to upgrade from the previous model. However, this is only noticeable in the benchmarks, but not in practice.

The per-MHz performance of Ice Lake is a bit better, so the result is pretty similar with a small advantage for the new model. While the old Core i5-8279U ran at around 3.3-3.4 GHz at 33 W, the new Core i5-1038NG7 only manages 3.3 GHz at 35 W. This is where the good news stops though, because we can once again see that Intel still has some problems with its 10nm process. We can see a slight improvement for the 2020 model: While the previous model managed to cool ~33 W, the new model now handles ~35 W. Apple does not restrict the power consumption of the processor, which means the performance of the cooling solution is the only restriction for the CPU performance. The Core i5-1038NG7 has a higher TDP rating of 28 W compared to the regular mobile chips, but this value does not really matter in Apple devices anyway. Similar to the smaller MacBook Air, Apple uses custom Intel processors, which are exclusive for the MacBook and can be recognized with the "N" in the model designation. It depends heavily on the software support, but the Touch Bar is often still more of a gimmick. You once again get the Touch Bar instead of conventional function keys, but you can still debate about the benefit of the small touch display. There are other small improvements like the half-sized arrow keys (easier to locate with the fingers), the dedicated Esc button as well as the slightly separated power button. If you did not like the butterfly keyboard of the old models, you should definitely have a look at the new Magic keyboard.

The key travel is 1 mm and the typing experience reminds us of more of the old MacBook models (MY 2015 and older). The very shallow, yet very precise butterfly keyboard, which was often criticized for reliability issues over the last couple of years, has now been replaced with a more conventional scissor mechanism.
