Just to be clear, this is mostly the same model (it also has the same model number) as the 2018 (which, mind you, was no slouch). The only change is the increased storage capacity.

Unfortunately, Intel never made a suitable CPU for Coffee Lake Refresh last year, and it's unclear if they will for Comet Lake this year. Given that Comet Lake for desktops should come any day now, and Apple has opted to release this model, my guess is they know the answer to that to be "no, there won't be a new CPU". Which means we're looking at 2021 (three years!) for newer CPUs. Yikes.
