There is difference in the info about the Mac in apple website and “about this mac” from my Mac book

Hello


I recently purchased new MacBook Pro 2019. However, when I check about the spec of the device, it says it has "16GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory", but when I check "About this Mac" in my MacBook Pro, it says it has "16GB 2667MHz DDR4 memory".


Do I need to go to apple store for this problem?

Odd, but that one digit difference will have no effect.


Crucial has a scan feature—out of curiosity you can see what it returns for RAM.

or from the terminal app you can copy and paste this PERL script:


system_profiler SPHardwareDataType SPMemoryDataType | perl -ne '
     $SerialNumber = $1 if /Serial Number \S+:\s+(\S+)/;
      $Processors   = $1 if /Processors:\s+(\d+)/;
     $Speed        = $1 if /Processor Speed:\s+(.*)/;
     $Name         = $1 if /Processor Name:\s+(.*)/;
     $Memory       = $1 if /Memory:\s+(\d+\s+\S+)/;
     $Phase2       = 1  if /Memory:\s*$/;
     $MemSpeed     = $1 if $Phase2 && /Speed:\s+(\d+\s+\S+)/;
     $Type         = $1 if $Phase2 && /Type:\s+(.*)/;
     END { printf("%s\n%s x %s %s\n%s %s %s\n",
                  $SerialNumber,
                  $Processors, $Speed, $Name,
                  $Memory, $MemSpeed, $Type);
         }
'



(please note this includes that last comma at the end.)


it will return :

Serial number (do not post this personal info)

processor

RAM
