Hello to the Artlantis community,
I ask your help / opinion to decide me in a purchase of MBP 2018 to improve my performance on Artlantis (each handling takes 10 minutes …). I work on very heavy files (more than 2 GB), and I will also want to perform video rendering.
Despite my demands at Apple and other professionals, none can give me a concrete answer.
My current configuration:
i7 2,9 GHz bicoeur (3.6 GHz boost)
16GB DDR3 1600 MHz
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536MB
256GB SSD
The basic configuration I want (and proposed by Apple):
32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz
Raedaon Pro 560x 4GB
256 GB SSD (does the reduced storage capacity have an impact on rendering power ? - knowing that I only use about 100 GB)
Where I can not decide is the choice of the processor:
i7 hexacoeur 2.2 GHz 8 ° G. (4.1 GHz boost)
i7 hexacoeur 2.6 Ghz 8 ° G. (Boost 4.3 GHz)
i9 hexacoeur 2.9 Ghz 8 ° G. (Boost 4.8 GHz)
According to the various tests, the i7 2.2 and i7 2.6 have similar performance. Nevertheless, the i9 appears like a real gain of power, but for which software?
It does not interest me to have an overpowering and useless machine for Artlantis (as well as investing in an i9), but I can not say if it’s really worth it to invest in the i9? And even the i7 2.6? For the use of Artlantlis.
I am a little lost, I hope to be read and enjoy your expert advice!
Thank you all!
Good night !
