MacBook Pro Core i9 Madness - Part 2  #Helpful Post

 

your guys johnathan here welcome to part

2 of the MacBook Pro I 9 throttling

Fiasco big shout-out to everyone who

watched part 1 all the way through if

you missed that I'll link it up here and

down below and I want to preface this

video by saying the title everybody is

wrong what a 20-18 MacBook Pro was more

of a blanket statement to those who kind

of were blindly following headlines and

hype it straight out saying that the I 9

was slower than a 7

the i-96 core was inherently slower than

last year's quad-core i7 and honestly my

only point with that was to showcase how

the laptop actually performed in as many

real-world situations as I possibly

could I wanna give a quick shout out to

Philly be someone I watched someone I

look up to he does a great job of

reporting the news but also knowing when

to step back and take accountability so

in that spirit I could totally say I was

wrong if I came off like I was blindly

supporting Apple because that is not the

case I thought it was clear if I wasn't

I still to this day think the i9 is not

properly cool I don't think the laptop

is reaching its full potential

I've told Apple that I just wanted to

showcase it like how every one of you

out there uses it forget benchmarks

forget trying to stress a CPU I wanted

to show it off like if you use this

machine every day so last video was more

of a showcase of the highest spec 6 core

i9 configuration against the lowest

SPECT baseline six core i7 configuration

this video is tackling how it stacks up

against last year's highest spec for

core i7 because I've seen so many

statements saying the i9 was inherently

slower again just to be 100% clear I

don't think the i9 is running to its

maximum potential mr iphonedo did a

great video showcasing how he squeezed

extra performance out of the i9 by

ramping up the fans so if you guys want

to check that out drop a link down below

again my job here was to kind of

showcase and document how this performs

out of the box for the everyday person

I've seen the crazy reddit thread from

someone way smarter than me talking

about how to optimally tune or hack

these MacBook Pros and better

performance so if that's something you

want to see definitely drop a comment

down below and I will definitely look

into it quickly before I jump in for

testing both MacBook Pros were plugged

into power at all times and then all

files and projects were run off an

external OWCA

Thunder blade

for SSD for those curious about speed or

wondering it was kind of bottleneck

things that's actually just about its

fast as the internal SSDs in these

MacBook Pros nearly three gigabytes a

second in the main reason is for those

large video files it's impossible to

store everything on these MacBook Pros

especially when you're dealing with base

models so first up is Adobe Lightroom

classic CC in the first task was to

import 50-100 megapixel Hasselblad raw

photos with a one by one build preview

contrary to thoughts out there the i-9

was roughly 28% faster or had a 28%

improvement however you want to word it

but nonetheless the i7 was definitely

not faster next from there I took those

50 raw photos and then export of them to

JPEG in Lightroom classic CC and again

the i9 MacBook Pro was about 27% faster

next one that I'm gonna hop over to

handbrake which is super demanding on

the CPU I did two tests for this one was

transcoding 2 hour movie into h.264 and

then a more demanding test transcoding

that 2 hour movie into h.265 for the

h.264 transcode the i-9 was roughly 17%

faster than the quad-core i7 and as we

jump over to the h.265 transcode you can

see one this took a hell of a lot longer

it's a lot more demanding but the

difference was actually smaller here

j9 was faster this time though it was

only about 12% which makes total sense

it's a longer more demanding process so

that heat kind of really builds up and I

think if the i-9 was better cooled on

this MacBook Pro we would see a bigger

difference in performance where I saw a

massive difference so and this is more

so to do with the advantage of coffee

lake and HEV C encoding was using

compressor transcoding a 4k h.264 file

22 minutes into 4k 80 BC and the ini

MacBook Pro was 54% faster than last

year's quad-core i7 which is a giant

jump from that moving on to Adobe

Premiere CC and again my purpose with

this is to make this as wide and varied

as possible using as many cameras and

codecs as I possibly could so first up

with that Arri Alexa Mini 4k Pro res

tests the i9 MacBook Pro was about 10%

faster than last year's i7 from there

moving on to 5k read raw footage and

then dropping us into a 4k timeline

exported into h.264 the i9 MacBook Pro

was about 13% faster next is Sony a7 3

4k footage at a hundred megabits per

second I dropped this into a 1080p time

and an export of that into a 1080p h.264

file and again the i9 MacBook Pro is

about 9% faster where I didn't see a

huge difference though was using canon

c2 in a raw light footage inside Adobe

Premiere the i9 MacBook Pro was only

about three percent faster which really

isn't much at all again this is a clear

example of where the i9 is not

performing to its max potential so for

now if you use the Canada C 200 if used

oak Premiere it's not the biggest

upgrade I also kinda want to interject

and talk about Premiere Pro versus Final

Cut it's not that I'm crapping all over

Premiere Pro it's just imagine that you

did something every day every day you

watched your friend try to do the exact

same task but the way they were doing it

was slower and less efficient why

wouldn't you tell them your way that's

all I'm trying to do but the good news

is Adobe actually reached out because of

that video so it means they're watching

their care and I'm hoping that because

of videos like these Apple listens

Adobe listens name result there's better

performance for everyone everywhere from

there speaking of Final Cut Pro 10

jumping over to that testing this is a

showcase of how I want to show you guys

numbers no matter what they are

with the Aerie 4k Pro rest footage the

i9 MacBook Pro was actually about 13%

slower than the i7 from that moving on

to 5k read raw footage I am actually

transcoding this into 4k 42 pro res and

the i9 MacBook Pro is actually 24%

faster so in this case it definitely had

an advantage next from there again is

Sony a7 3 4k footage dropped into a

1080p timeline and then exported into a

1080p h.264 file the anti MacBook Pro

was 12% faster moving on to Canon c2 in

a row light footage in this case in

Final Cut Pro 10 the i9 MacBook Pro

export was 10% faster but if we hop over

to the venture resolve in this case the

quad core i7 from last year was actually

about 9% faster

so yeah in certain cases the i7 from

last year does outperform the i9 but in

most situations in most the testing the

i9 is faster all the way around even

with its problems so kind of take this

information for what it's worth use that

towards your buying decision you might

think to yourself hey I have last year's

model I don't need to upgrade that's

cool maybe you want to buy that one

those are actually 400 bucks off on

being H right now or maybe the

difference in perform

what the six core is enough for you

honestly in my opinion right now the

mid-tier six core macbook pro is

probably where your best bang for your

buck is as I have some that hopefully

you found this video helpful again my

job is to showcase these things in the

realest possible way hopefully

appreciate that if you did drop a like

definitely subscribe for more MacBook

Pro covers still have the 13-inch model

to cover thank you guys again this is

Jonathan you missed part one it's also

down below and I will catch you guys

later
