I ordered the i7 model, should be here on the 27th - Apr 3rd. Kinda surprised non of the reviewers got an i7. Anxious to see the processor as well.

The i7 seems to have really high scores of 1130 and 2870 in geekbench 5!

The Single core is on par with the highest end MacBook Pro 16 (i9 HK)

I am having a feeling Intel is basically just kidding, it's all the same processor, just put in different thermal envelopes and base speeds - but it's actually the same thing. 1.2 GHz and 2.4Ghz (16") sounds really different but... whoops, same score! Intel is a marketing company primarily.

Here's a chart with geekbench 5 score s with my old min 2012 MacBook Pro, the two i9 MacBook Pro 16s, and the new MacBook Air.

MacBook Pro 2012 2.6	716	2786
MacBook Air 2020 i7	1130	2870
MacBook Pro 16 2019 i9HK TOP MODEL	1120	6989
MacBook Pro 16 2019 i9H	1081	6661
