macpro 14" 12-Core CPU 19-Core GPU vs 10-Core CPU 16-Core GPU

[Appletise]

is it worth the extra cost to go for the 12-Core CPU 19-Core GPU vs 10-Core CPU 16-Core GPU?
l am seriously considering just going for 10 core and upgrade to 1TB, as 512GB hd is suppose to be slower compared to the bigger 1TB. l only use the mac for trading softwares, ~ 2open a time, and browsing. thanks for advice

Sounds like the version of the M2 Pro that has the 10-Core CPU and 16-Core GPU will be sufficient. Hell, you might honestly be fine with a MacBook Air or 13-inch MacBook Pro with a standard M2 for those purposes (in which case, the 256GB drive is the slow drive and 512GB is not affected).
