An earlier test by the "Max Tech" YouTube channel compared the previous 8-core MBP to an identically priced 8-core iMac for video editing tasks, and found that in most cases the iMac was significantly faster. The exception was transcoding tasks for H.265/HEVC and H.264 that used the on-board T2 chip on the MBP.
Much of the difference was attributed to better thermal management on the iMac and better GPU options.
I'm wondering if the improvements in these areas on the new 16" MBP would make the MBP performance closer to the current iMac than previously?
I like the idea of have a portable editing solution, but don't want sacrifice too much performance compared to a desktop.
No doubt, someone will be testing this over the next few weeks, but I'm interested in hearing what improvements you would expect to see.
Thanks!
