Dell's Updated Xps 15 Could Crush The Macbook Pro 15-Again
PCWorld
|May 2018
The newest Dell XPS 15 adds a six-core Coffee Lake H CPU and faster GeForce graphics.
Know why the MacBook Pro 15 (go.pcworld.com/am15) is so thin? It’s because of all the times Dell’s powerhouse XPS 15 has stomped on it (go.pcworld.com/dvsa).
Yes, that’s a cheap shot, but it’s been mostly true—and Apple’s beatdown will only get worse as the newest XPS 15 (model 9570) ups the ante to a 6-core, 12-thread Core i7-8750H. Part of Intel’s new enthusiast-class Coffee Lake H (see page 7) series of chips, the Core i7-8750H is essentially a mobile version of Intel’s powerful Core i7-8700K chip (go. pcworld.com/rv87).
