Once I start doing \u00a0Final Cut Pro editing in an hour, we\u2019re going to be at 20 gigabytes of RAM. Also, the Core i7 is a CTO\/BTO feature for Apple devices now but I always get it. Larger cache, larger front-side bus and most importantly, Hyperthreading. Quad-Core Macs aren\u2019t rare anymore but with the Core i7, you have 2 logical cores for every physical core so it helps tremendously when you have what we have today\u2026Lightroom, Photos, Final Cut Pro, lots of server work going on and a Time Machine backup. I don\u2019t think all applications are taking advantage of Apple\u2019s Grand Central multi-core cocoa system but those that are, the Core i7 really shines.<\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"  title=\"Screen Shot 2016-01-30 at 2.21.36 PM.png\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Screen Shot 2016 01 30 at 2 21 36 PM\"  width=\"284\"  height=\"252\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-30-at-2.21.36-PM.png\" ><\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"  title=\"Screen Shot 2016-01-30 at 2.22.34 PM.png\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Screen Shot 2016 01 30 at 2 22 34 PM\"  width=\"257\"  height=\"362\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Screen-Shot-2016-01-30-at-2.22.34-PM.png\" ><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Once a month, I hit a place where I actually use all of the RAM in my machine.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-03-17T02:00:56Z","apple_news_api_id":"dd7e6173-8003-478d-b46e-dba4bed2c85c","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-03-17T02:00:56Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A3X5hc4ADR420btukvtLIXA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5427","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-technology","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1px","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7502,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2018\/07\/15\/technology-my-late-2013-macbook-pro-versus-the-2018-macbook-pro-with-core-i9-chip\/","url_meta":{"origin":5427,"position":0},"title":"Technology: My late-2013 MacBook Pro versus the 2018 MacBook Pro with Core i9 Chip","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"July 15, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Finally, some stats are out.
