LR definitely gets a boost from more cores. My older 6 core chip even though slower per core beats my quad core machines for almost all tasks in it. If you want to get detailed on this here's a ...

I have a 15" 4k monitor and there is a clear jump but as others have said 1080P is totally usable. My current workflow is import everything with the screen set to 1080P since it's A LOT faster for ...

I'd look at going for an AMD CPU since they are a little better than Intel since it beats it for most tasks in LR/PS at equal core counts, and you can go for a 12 or 16 core version as well. For ...

I was thinking about the Sigma and rented both it and the Nikon 135 F2 DC. The Sigma is sharp and while the AF is quicker I did have issues focusing in low light with it which is where I'm shooting ...

I'm looking at getting one, as the prices continue to go lower and lower it becomes easier to justify it as an even more portable option VS my EM10 mkII. Do you have a small case for it? The one ...

The Sigma 30 is a very sharp and bright lens, the only issues I've found with it is that it'll just got focus compared to the Olympus 25 f1.8 or Panasonic 25 f1.7 I used to own, and it's much, ...

On mobile the i5's have had HT since 8th gen on all chips.  And the dual cores had it going back further.

Thanks for the info, and for Tom_N I use everymac to get the info but looks like they take a little time to update the database.  The new Air's are up but not the MBP 13's https://everymac.com/syst ...

Have the CPU model numbers come out yet? I haven't been able to find them, but the other big thing here is the GPU and which i5 are they using? All fall under "IRIS Plus" but the higher end "G7" ...

I don't know about passmark but it's matching Intel chips running overclocked at double the power consumption or more. So in terms of cooling you'll need some but nothing too crazy. There are ...

A few additional things. The air actually loses on the 10th gen vs 8th gen i5 in terms of the CPU. There are 2 ways that this happens, in terms of single threaded performance for short bursts they ...

If you bought it I mean a new computer is a new computer and will last you longer but a lot of people are running all those programs on systems a good bit slower than your current one so I would ...

And if you think the power supply is the issue you could run stress tests. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/stress-test-cpu-pc-guide,5461.html Those synthetic loads will hit your CPU/GPU harder ...

I wouldn't worry about 32GB of RAM not being available on laptops stock. I'd just YouTube whatever model you're looking at because it's very easy on some usually taking just a few screws and it's ...

I've been using the Surface Pro 6 i5 and do some editing on it. One of the big differences is the i5 is passively cooled VS the i7 which has a fan and you definitely can tell it if you process a ...

It actually does pretty well for today's games, especially with just a GTX 1660 Super as long as you're only trying for 60 FPS. And it can do a lot higher on older/e-sports ones. https://www.youtub ...

That's a lot of money to get it looked at. I would try a fresh install of Windows in case there's something wrong with the OS causing all the issues. And your 7200 RPM hard drive is a bottleneck ...

Multiple CPUs is the big thing but even that is only for some Xeons. I had a Woodcrest like the original MacPro's but didn't get too into the CPU's back then. I know by the time of my next ...

Yup, and it'll be an even worse value proposition when you can get the new Ryzen 3 3000 series/10th gen i3 both for 100-150 with a quad core that'll be faster than that 8 core Xeon CPU which will ...

It used to be a solid bet 4 years ago when consumer chips topped out at a quad core. But for context I bought an HP Z420 with a E5-1650 V2 which is only slightly slower than that computer for 350. ...
