hey guys this is Austin in front of me is the brand-new 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro now with the new core I nines inside it promises to be the fastest macbook ever with a $4,000 price tag and that's not even the most expensive one I'm curious how fast is it really this is the first time that you've been able to get anything more than a quad-core MacBook well pretty much ever so the across the line you're going to be eating at least six cores on the new MacBooks this guy is going to be the quinine which is gonna be clocked a lot higher but even the base model of the 15 is still going to be a 6 core or i7 something else new what this generation is going to be more memory so previously the MacBook Pro would top out at 16 gigs of ram a fair bit but not really not for a lot of creative professionals whereas this guy you can't option it all the way up to 32 gigs of ram finally yes so Wes is currently using a lenovo thinkpad workstation and even though they're actually about the same price you can see there's a huge size difference look how much smaller this is look that's not not even close another change is going to be with the SSD so by default this will come with a 256 gig drive however you can option it all the way up to a 4 terabyte SSD no issue is going to cost you $3,400 you know you don't want to spend as much as a nice Jesus car well I guess huh somewhat nice used car as your SSD there's your option for real though I mean if you really need that extra space by all means go for it but as far as I'm concerned a 1 terabyte SSD or even a 512 gig Drive should be plenty unless you're on 10 boletos phone texting instead of running the camera oh wow great I've already got a beach ball that's really wonderful this system has been on for 35 seconds and it's already frozen in beach bawling I know the new feature is going to be the Apple t2 chip inside and that's also going to be shared with the iMac pro essentially it's going to be like an iPhone processor that's dedicated to handling all of the background tasks to the laptop so think about trains outside your speaker's your webcam especially things like security issues like making sure that everything is correctly signed ahead of time so to really see with this new MacBook is capable of I have a couple of other laptops here to compare against so first of all I have a 2016 MacBook Pro this is going to be the high end of that year so we're getting the core i7 16 gigs of RAM Radeon Pro 460 graphics as well as a one terabyte SSD to give you a good idea of what an equivalent Windows workstation is going to provide we have a 2016 Lenovo P 70 this guy's going to have a Xeon e3 15:05 which is going to be a quad-core skylake CPU very similar to actually what's going to be in the 2016 MacBook you're also going to be getting 32 gigabytes of RAM a Quadro p-m 4000 and 4000 it will set P it's an M 4000 GPU as well as a 512 gigabyte nvme SSD and last but not least we have the 2018 MacBook Pro now this is going to be maxed out with everything besides the SSD the core I 9 32 gigabytes of RAM the Radeon pro 5 60 X the only thing we're missing here is a 4 terabyte drive but with one terabyte of capacity the price difference between these three is actually only a couple hundred dollars so let's see how fast the new MacBook really is the first test we're going to be running is Geekbench 4 and this is going to be a pretty solid test of the CPU capabilities of all three of these laptops oh wow wow that's so fast okay so the lenovo and the macbook are very well matched so single cores slightly ahead on the lenovo but multi-core is going to be a little bit behind but the 20:18 absolutely destroys them both with 5595 on Signal Corps and 24,000 755 and multi-core that that's fast of course there's more to it than just CPU power though so here we're going to be using the geek bench for compute test to give us a rough idea of what kind of graphics capability are going to be on all three of these laptops so here the lenovo definitely takes the win with a score of 79 thousand compared to fifty eight thousand with the 2018 macbook and forty nine thousand with the 2016 MacBook now the graphics side is definitely going to be a big win for the windows side just because you're going to be getting so many more options and so many more powerful cards available and a variety of Windows workstations except we have Cinebench now this is going to be a little bit more of a multi-threaded workflow as is basically going to be cinema 4d just rendering a single test scene and again anything CPU related the core I 9 MacBook is absolutely going to crush Meli's are going to be a fair bit faster on this single core score but even on the multi thread with those extra two cores available it is going to be seriously fast next up we have the Asha speed test this is going to be all about how fast the these are and all three of these systems okay that one's not particularly fair so it looks like the lenovo is using a SATA based hard drive which means the read speeds topping out at less than 500 megabytes per second and the read is only about a 133 compare that with the 2016 which is over 2 gigabytes per second on both read and write and the 28 key model which is actually going to clear three gigabytes per second on read and twenty seven hundred megabytes per second on the right just like the iMac pro a lot of this feed has to do with the fact that it is using a t2 chip to handle all the stuff including actually running the SSD so when it comes to writing and reading it almost three gigabytes per second that's actually really cool I've gotta admit that's really fast next up let's put this all together and do a little bit more of a real-world comparison so we have DaVinci Resolve running on all three of these systems so we're starting out with some 7k red raw footage which is then being heavily color corrected with power windows and it's going to be exported as a 4k h.264 file okay so it looks like resolve is definitely a big fan of the core i9 on the 2018 macbook here the 18 MacBook is going to be a full minute faster than both the 2016 MacBook as well as the lenovo p 70 now the P 70 does have other advantages beyond pure performance so not only is it going to run a fair bit cooler take a look at the thermal shots I got on the MacBook which was running pretty warm especially on the keyboard area compared to the lenovo it is a huge difference but on top of that lenovo has a bigger 4k display and you know actual ports which is kind of helpful when you know you're doing video or anything that's not using USB C so conclusion time if you pick up the $7000 Q of the MacBook Pro with the 4 terabyte drive it's not going to perform any better but if you're looking for a system that is going to give you a ton of power and a pretty small and thin form factor I'm going to say this actually is a lot faster than I was expecting
