https://wccftech.com/2020-macbook-air-vs-2019-macbook-pro-performance-comparison/ > When Apple introduced an updated entry-level MacBook Pro model last year, it was the first time that both a quad-core CPU and a Touch Bar were paired on the cheaper notebook. While the Touch Bar might have been viewed as a mixed bag, the addition of a quad-core chip made all the difference in the world for a variety of tasks. The same impression can be made for the 2020 MacBook Air, which can now be configured with a quad-core processor. Now you’re all wondering what kind of performance metrics do the two machines bring to the table? We’re glad you asked because this initial 2020 MacBook Air vs 2019 MacBook Pro numbers comparison shows that Apple’s updated notebook can pack some serious firepower and be lightweight at the same time. > Before we get to the fun stuff, let us run down some specifications first. The funny thing is that the 10th-generation Core i5 processor listed on Apple’s website can’t be found on Intel’s product page. Sure, there’s a quad-core mobile CPU that features a base clock of 1.10GHz, but there’s no chip that shares the same 3.50GHz boost clock frequency as this one on Intel’s web page. The closest option we could find was the Core i5-1035G1, which has a 1.10GHz base clock speed, and a 3.60GHz boost clock.
