Apple announced today the world's first 8-core MacBook Pro featuring 8th and 9th generation Intel Core processors for 2x performance than any previous MacBook Pro model.

The new MacBook Pro promises to be twice as fast than the quad-core MacBook Pro series and deliver up to 40 percent more performance than the 6-core MacBook Pro models. According to Apple, this is the fastest MacBook Pro you can buy right now, and it also comes with powerful graphics for high quality gaming or video production, a gorgeous Retina display, super-fast SSD storage, and all-day battery life.

"Whether it’s college students mastering a course of study, developers building world-class apps or video editors creating feature films, we’re constantly amazed at what our customers do with their MacBook Pro. Now with 8-core processors for an incredible performance boost, along with its stunning Retina display, fast storage, all-day battery life and running macOS, MacBook Pro continues to be the world’s best pro notebook," said Tom Boger, Apple’s senior director of Mac Product Marketing.

The new MacBook Pro is available starting today

Thanks to all these new powerful components, the new MacBook Pro models are perfect for professional environments to render 3D graphics, process high-resolution images, editing multiple 4K video streams, or compile code for your Mac apps. There are 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models available, and the 15-inch one comes in both 6-core and 8-core variants, while the 13-inch MacBook Pro features quad-core processors with Turbo Boost.

Apple's updated 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pro models will be available for purchase starting today from apple.com or via the Apple Store app starting at $1,799 USD for the 13-inch variant with quad-core Intel Core processors and $2,399 USD for the 15-inch model with 8th or 9th-generation Intel Core processors.
