07/21/2018, 3:21 PMone counter argument to the original Lee video that I was somewhat sympathetic to was his test was hammering the machine with Adobe Premiere which everyone knows is horribly inefficient code, given that Adobe Flash was a major contributor to global warning before the whole industry rose up and staked it, does kind of take some of the air out of that strategy....

There are other multi-media related software that can sit heavily on every core available. As a programmer, I rely more on storage speed and RAM availability, so I don't see myself beating the processor that much, nor would I spend the extra on an i9 in the first place, since the gains over an i7 are minimal. So yeah, basically it looks like they put an i9 to deal with what an i7 can do very well, but to throttle on what the i9 was designed for...

07/22/2018, 5:27 PMWell, I ended up going back and ordering it again. 🙂 I did get the i9. I have a 2013, that's 5 years old and mine is probably still worth north of a thousand, so if you pay $300 for the i9 and keep it 5 years, the difference is pennies.. pretty silly.. I also am interested in making sure that other stuff does not compete with my coding, so other cores is good, was just reading about the T2, was wondering whether it carries the load on things like screen recording, it does manage FaceTime, which is interesting...
