Macbook Pro i9
does anybody here owns Macbook Pro 2018 i9?
i would wanna know if it runs well with Ableton after the update fix,
according to these video editing people it has throttling issues when rendering and im wondering does it happens the same to DAW/music production?
am i better off with i7 cuz i just ordered i9 model
Thanks!

Re: Macbook Pro i9
just get the i7 model. you aren't going to get any big gains from the i9. i currently use the 6 core i7 model with the 8750h and it works incredibly. the i9 is too powerful to be cooled in the chassey the macbook pro has so you're not going to get any gains. it's definitely not worth it.
Re: Macbook Pro i9
I have i9 32Gb 2TB runs perfect
Re: Macbook Pro i9
It's not stated it does not run well, it is stated that it does not gain any more power a i7 does.....Heat dissapation can be a real problem!

will the heat cause the problem to perform even worst than i7?miyaru wrote:It's not stated it does not run well, it is stated that it does not gain any more power a i7 does.....Heat dissapation can be a real problem!

and how is i7 2018 compare to previous years?
since im ordering i9 with my younger friend's student discount which is expiring in the end of Aug and if i return and re-purchase i won't get any discount no more :/

Re: Macbook Pro i9
it probably won't be worse than the 2.6 GHz i7, but i don't think it is worth the extra $$$ for the minor performance gains that you will sometimes get. if your workspace is hot then that also has an impact—at the very least i recommend using a cooler stand that has fans.hairyhero wrote:will it perform worst tho?soundremedy wrote:just get the i7 model. you aren't going to get any big gains from the i9. i currently use the 6 core i7 model with the 8750h and it works incredibly. the i9 is too powerful to be cooled in the chassey the macbook pro has so you're not going to get any gains. it's definitely not worth it.

i f***ed up haha, and im living in Thailand so i guess its gonna be a problem
was getting discount so i thought i should maxed out since i already have i7 2012 MBP, esp after the update patch fix and these benchmark results

yeah, it gets pretty hot where i am in summer, and i don't have air conditioning. that is one of the reasons why i didn't go for the i9.hairyhero wrote:thanks!fishmonkey wrote:

Re: Macbook Pro i9
do external hardware(synth, push) and audio interface with studio monitors adds on the heat?fishmonkey wrote:yeah, it gets pretty hot where i am in summer, and i don't have air conditioning. that is one of the reasons why i didn't go for the i9.hairyhero wrote:thanks!fishmonkey wrote:

Re: Macbook Pro i9
audio interface with monitors, no. most external hardware, no; however Push uses some CPU power to drive the display, so that generates some heat.hairyhero wrote: do external hardware(synth, push) and audio interface with studio monitors adds on the heat?
Re: Macbook Pro i9
I bought the 2018 32gb i9 and opened up a maxed out midi arrangement, fan came on almost right away, so I returned it and bought an iMac pro 8 core 64gb ram and that thing runs anything I throw at it smoothly
