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
