Comparatively, the high-end 2018 MacBook Pro has earned an average single-core score of 5348 and a multi-core score of 22620. Single-core speeds are up almost 10 percent, while multi-core scores are up an impressive 29 percent.
Apple has said that the new 8-core MacBook Pro can offer up to 40 percent faster performance than a 6-core MacBook Pro, and two times faster performance than a quad-core MacBook Pro.
The higher-end stock MacBook Pro features a 2.3GHz 8-core 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor, which can be upgraded to a 2.4GHz 8-core 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor for $200, which is the version that's been benchmarked.
Apple's entry-level 15-inch machine features a 6-core 9th-generation processor, while all of the 13-inch MacBook Pro machines use quad-core 8th-generation processors.
The new MacBook Pro models can be ordered from the online Apple Store and will be in retail stores later this week or early next week.

[doublepost=1558636276][/doublepost]So around 10C lower temperature vs i9 2018 is a big deal, and around 5-6C on surface 43- 44C vs 48-49C

5 GHZ might only last for 1 second then the Mac is overheated.
nope, check my video link, and this is with 560X, with vega temp should be even lower2.4 GHz. The same speed as a 2007 MacBook Pro.
