The company usually maintains the same chassis and design, and instead upgrades hardware internals such as processor, RAM, storage, and GPU.

This development comes as a surprise as a recent report suggested that Apple has no plans to release a major upgrade for its MacBook Pro lineup in 2018. We knew there was something fishy about this yearвЂ™s MacBook Pro when we first saw the listing. The 13-inch variant earned a 4600 single-core score, and 9500 multi-core score. This is expected to be an upgraded model of the 13-inch MacBook Pro launched last year, and if the scores are true, it is a notable upgrade. The new MacBook Pro model scores 4448 in single-core test, and 16607 in multi-score testing.

It packs 16GB of 2133MHz LPDDR3 RAM, and runs on macOS 10.13.6 with build number 17G2110. The GeekBench listing suggests that the new MacBook Pro 15,2 runs on the Intel Core i7-8559U Coffee Lake processor (a 14nm processor which features a TDP of 28W, a base frequency of 2.7GHz, and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.5GHz). To recall, Apple refreshed the MacBook Pro lineup last year with Kaby Lake CPUs and added a new 13-inch variant as well. If this is true, this will be the first time Apple will integrate Coffee Lake CPUs into its laptop lineup. A new MacBook Pro laptop model was spotted on GeekBench with impressive scores, and was listed to be running on the latest Intel Coffee Lake CPUs. Reports of an entry-level MacBook are doing the rounds, but now a refresh of the MacBook Pro may also be in the offing.
