Apple MacBook Pro 15 2019 in review: Still a very good multimedia laptop in 2020?
Intel Core i9-9980HK | AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 | 15.40" | 1.8 kg
The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 is a dedicated graphics card for laptops. It was introduced as an option to the 2018 MacBook Pro. The graphics card offers 20 CUs (1,280 shaders) and 4 GB HBM2 memory. The performance should be on a level with the Radeon RX Vega M GL (also 1,280 shaders) and therefore between a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti.
