Hi all,

Apple MacBook Pro 15.4' Retina True Tone Laptop (Touch Bar, 8th Gen 6-Core Intel Core i7 2.60GHz, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, AMD Radeon Pro 560X 4GB) - A1990 MR942LL/A (Mid 2018) Resolution: 2880 x 1800 Bluetooth: Yes. Testing conducted by Apple in April 2020 using preproduction 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics, 32GB of RAM, and 4TB SSD, as well as shipping 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655, 16GB of RAM, and 2TB SSD.

Macbook pro 17 i7


Testing conducted by Apple in November 2019 using preproduction 2.5GHz 28-core Intel Xeon W-based Mac Pro systems with 384GB of RAM and dual AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo graphics with 64GB of HBM2 each; and shipping 2.3GHz 18-core Intel Xeon W-based 27-inch iMac Pro systems with 256GB of RAM and Radeon Pro Vega 64X graphics with 16GB of HBM2, as.

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a 13' Macbook pro without touchbar.


Question: Does anyone see a reason to upgrade to the 2.5 GhZ i7 processor (instead of the stock 2.3 Ghz i5)?


On geekbench, the stock processor (dual) scores 8820, and the upgraded i7 processor gets only 8826.


So if that is the difference, it seems totally negligible and not worth it. Is that score the best representation of the power/speed of the machine? Is there anything else to consider? Does 'threading' really make any difference?


Background: I will use this for Logic with a lot of soft synths and occasional video editing (HD but not 4K). My main concern is price and getting something that lasts as long as possible. I plan on getting one of the two, and will definitely also pay for the RAM upgrade.


Thanks for any advice!
