I did yesterday and quoted it for you multiple times. And I do, again, below
with yet another system.

I think you need to take a step back, learn a little about the processors
and about what the specs are, and then come back. At this point I have lead
you to the water time and time again but you refuse to drink. Nothing else I
can do to get you to quench your thirst.

Of course I had to do "research" and look at Apple's page to get those
specs! It is not like I have it memorized for all of their machines! But,
for crying out loud, does Dell come to your house and tell you the specs
when you mention a machine? NO! You have to go to their site, too!

Hint: when a URL starts with "https://apple.com" it is Apple's site.

Gee, NO other CPUs from you. None. Meaning if you know what Apple shows you
then you know all you need to know. It is not as if you look at those specs
and then find another machine listed with the same specs it will have a
different CPU. 

What more are you hoping to get? What more does having the Intel name give
you? So far you have offered NOTHING. Not even saying there might not be
some rare cases... but you cannot think of ANY.
