i9 [ 5600m ] vs i7 [ 5600 ] - Which one to pick?

[def__init__():]

Hi Guys,
Does the i9 with 5600m GPU has the same loud noises issues as the previous 5500?
I would like to make decision between this two models:

OPTION 1:

• 2.3GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor
• 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
• AMD Radeon Pro 5600M with 8GB of HBM2 memory
• 2TB SSD storage

OPTION 2:

• 2.6GHz 6‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i7 processor
• 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
• AMD Radeon Pro 5600M with 8GB of HBM2 memory
• 2TB SSD storage

WHAT I WILL BE USING IT FOR?

• iOS and Android development
• Photoshop, Light Room and After Effect
• Running virtual machines for some softwares testing
• Occasional music production

Get the i9. Even though its fast the top range i9 with 5600 is still not that fast.

I would suggest buying an iMac if at all possible.

Portability will be a huge issue for me, hence I'm aiming for a MBP instead!
Otherwise, I would.

Your sentence is a bit confusing

I mean the top spec macboook pro is still not fast enough for me. So going down to i7 is a no.

I got my i9 2.4GHz and 5600M a couple days ago. So far it is running well but I have not done much except migrate all my data over.

From what I've heard so far, the issue start when you connect to external monitors.

Not if you have the 5600m graphics card.

What about the overheating issue?
I've read on Reddit the i7 x 5600M combo runs cooler than the i9 x 5600M combo?

Not sure how true that's it, hence I'm asking.
