On Tuesday, Apple announced some changes in its MacBook lineup such as price cuts, redesigns, and upgrades. Two devices, the MacBook Air and the entry-level variant of the 13-inch MacBook Pro received an update, and with the MacBook Pro benchmarks already here, it’s evident in these scores that the upgrade in hardware was long overdue.

The lowest-end version of the new entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro is powered by Intel’s latest Core i5 chip, which has four processing cores, unlike the seventh-generation Core i5 that fueled the 2017 model, which had just two cores. So, right off the bat, we can expect the newly released model to offer considerably better performance and the early MacBook Pro benchmarks seem to promise just that.
