Terrible performance 2017 (3.1, 2TB) vs Jan 2016 (2.8, 1TB)

Do you know about this: "Kaby Lake Macbook Pro VS 4 Windows Laptops, Way Slower", see here

The shocking result of a rendering test can be seen at about 4:40 into the video

I found this very strange, but there are many similar tests to be found on you tube.

Interesting video, showing again that thermal constraints as well as theoretical cpu power define actual performance. But for the MacBook the outcome at 4:40 is also strongly influenced by Adobe premiere not optimised for opengl or macos.

Agreed that this is a comment on adobe software, but it is interesting the oldest Windows skylake system runs faster than the Windows Kabylake systems. However, since manufacturers are different that may also be a factor.

Anyway it is good to see that an older XPS still is very fast.
