![]() Try to keep an eye on on activity monitor when using Photoshop, and see what it says. Going for a stronger i5, will maybe make 5% difference and going for the i7 might make 10-15% difference, I don't know if it is worth it, or if you even need it. I know its the 3xxx generation in the MacBook Pro, and the 6xxx generation in the iMac, but still, the iMac is a little faster and a little smoother, in the same software (Premiere Pro), and yeah I know the comparison is far from ideal. My iMac's i5 compared to my 2014 MacBook Pro's i7. I don't use Photoshop all that much, and when I do, the files are never in that size, and the edits very simple. I didn't do a benchmark on which did the same task the fastest. On my i7 Mac, it would convert 8 tracks at a time (2014, 15" MacBook Pro) On my i5 Mac, it would convert 4 tracks at a time (2015, 27" 5K iMac) The conversion software I used could take advantage of the extra logical cores when present. ![]() I used to be a DJ, and needed my audio files in a very specific format, to not upset my DJ mixer. Now let me make a simpel example of this. If the software you use can take advantage of that, you can get extra performance out of it. That way a process can have more threads (Or motorways into the processor, giving it that extra performance)Īn i5 processor consists of 4 CPU cores, and no logical cores.Īn i7 processer consists of 4 CPU cores and 4 logical cores, so it looks to the system like it has 8 cores total. Logical cores is not physical cores, it is simply a "trick" to make the computer think that additional cores are available. The benefit of the i7, is the way it handles cores and logical cores. The i7 is faster yes, but the speed increase can be limited, based on the app you use.
