Do you think the MacBook Pro's cooling system will be able to handle a mobile i9 processor?,(reply>), Sergy Olkowski Film I totally expected that. That is why. It’s been a long time since Adobe programs have not been optimised for the Mac. Adobe has a much larger user base on Windows and have far better optimisation for Nvidia GPUs with CUDA on Windows machines. It’s the problem with Adobe programs really. Using programs like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro is a breeze on MacBook Pros.,(reply>), Adobe Premiere + After Effects. I have a rig with an actual i9 but work in LA occasionally and bought the macbook pro for mobile VFX/editing.<br><br>It was a 4k timeline with 2k proxies, about 20 or so after effect clips compiled and the final render killed the whole thing. The genius bar told me simply not to do that anymore when I got it replaced.,(reply>), Sergy Olkowski Film What program did you use?,(reply>), I 100 percent know that it will throttle. The last generation had terrible throttling. Not for everyday use but professinal work such as 4k rendering was a nightmare. My CPU hit 110c multiple times and completely shut off. Logic board fried.. twice. And that was the quad core. I just don't see the i9 being its fullest potential but also the heat will tear down other components.
