Exchange 2019 will support up to 48 CPU cores and 256GB of memory to take advantage of new hardware developments. This is a huge increase compared to Exchange 2016, which supports 24 CPU cores and 192GB of memory.

Microsoft has
incorporated Bing search technology to improve the search experience. The index
is now part of the mailbox database, which eliminates the need to manage
additional log files and requirements to rebuild content indexes. This will
decrease database failover times due to the mailbox database copy.
End-user Experience
Exchange 2019 will feature some improvements already utilized in Exchange Online, such as Do Not Forward and Simplified Calendar Sharing. Additionally, Microsoft is adding the ability for admins to manage events on users’ calendars and to assign and delegate permissions more easily through new PowerShell cmdlets.

Unified Messaging
Microsoft has eliminated the Unified Messaging role from Exchange 2019. Exchange 2019 will not support using a third-party PBX or Skype for Business Server to Exchange Server. This means that if you require voicemail functionality, you would have two options: migrate to Skype for Business Server 2019 using Cloud Voicemail or migrate to Office 365 with Cloud Voicemail. And there’s good news—Microsoft has implemented several paths to reduce some of the cost to transition to Cloud Voicemail.
