It comes pretty close to squeezing today's 7th gen quad-core (e.g., used in the mid-2017 MBP 15) into a MBP 13. We're looking at two scenarios: Intel Kaby Lake G and/or Coffee Lake H. PC World's Ung has "kicked the tires" on both processors. "I’ve tested both and both are legitimately fast CPUs and offer performance improvements over 7th Kaby Lake 'H' parts across the board," he said. "Coffee Lake H though gives you two more cores and it just screams when properly cooled." Ung points to other possibilities too such as Kaby Lake G “H” "tuned down" to run in the MBP 15.
