SavageAUS Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I have a 15" Clevo Laptop with a i7-9750H, 16Gb ram, intel UHD 630, GTX1650 (Disabled). macOS Catalina running but i've always questioned my smbios choice. I went with MacBookPro16,1 but should i go with something lower like MacBookPro15,3? The reason i ask is because my CPU shows up as an i9. Is this just cosmetic?

ameris_cyning Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 As far as I am aware between the two MacBookPro15,X and MacBookPro16,1 have no differences besides cosmetic The 9th gen and 8th gen Intel CPUs are both Coffee Lake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_Lake 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/343904-smbios-choice/#findComment-2723040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
