My base mid 2012 rMBP*with i7 quad core has estimated encoding time of 50-60 mins. The only disappointing thing is that I was expecting the handbrake encoding speed to be much better. Apple Mac Mini Desktop Computer, 3.2GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 16GB Memory, 512GB SSD, Gigabit Ethernet (Late 2018 with a 2020 SSD Upgrade) 5.0 out of 5 stars 6 1,573.95 1,573. This might lead to a much better performance as the CPU will be able to sustain at a higher clock speed as demonstrated when i9 without turbo boost performs better than with turbo boost. Apple can run some test and find a sweet spot that the i9 CPU will not throttle excessively. It seems that Apple can improve the performance of i9 by simply updating the firmware to manually lower the max turbo boost speed so that the CPU doesn’t get excessively hot and throttle. As a result, I will not be exchanging my i9 to i7. However the estimated time remained the same.Īfter these quick test, I feel more assured that the i9 does not perform worse than the i7. I also performed this test with turbo boost disabled expecting better estimated time. However from my observation after performing this test several times, it shows that the i9 is slightly faster than the i7 model. I did not time the entire encoding as I didn’t have the patience*to wait for 28 minutes. The estimated time on both MacBooks are very similar, with the i9 having slightly better estimate time (~1-2mins out of 28mins). In fact as seen from the above results, the i9 without turbo boost performs better than with turbo boost enabled.īoth the MacBooks are throttling to about the same GHz range. True enough, it maintained at 2.9Ghz at approx 80 degrees celcius.
I figured that if I disable Turbo Boost, I can make it maintain at 2.9Ghz as it won’t boost and overheat. On the i9 the thermal throttling is making it difficult to even maintain its base clock speed of 2.9Ghz due to it keep boosting to approx 3.7-4Ghz right after cooling, before severely throttling again after 1-2 seconds. I9 Turbo Boost Enabled with force Max Fan: 935
I7 Turbo Boost Enabled with force Max Fan: 921 The test isn’t very comprehensive as it’s for my own reference, but it gives a rough idea of 2018 i7 vs i9 CPU performance for those considering returning. As my friend got the 2018 i7 higher end model, I decided to run some quick test as I cannot find the results of i7 2018 vs i9 online so far. I still think that Apple should have addressed this issue.I got the i9 model and was quite worried and was considering to exchange it for the i7 model as I read online that the i9 model performs worse than the 2017 model. Hopefully you have already helped others who are having this same issue. Thanks for your kindness in helping me out. Thanks for pointing me in a direction to pursue, even if it may not be THE right direction for the Mac Pro. or just take my trash can into a certified Apple repair shop. and then see if there is one around that I can swap out and try. 2018) MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports. First I will check what NVMe drives the 2013 Mac Pro would have shipped with. A while ago I replace the internal Apple SSD with an NVMe drive with adapter in my late 2013 MP. your discovery will be very helpful to them.
while if this is dealing with MacBooks and MacBook Pros. This could be why a bunch of people across the web are having trouble. I don't know If there are any native Apple NVMe drives out there. The reseller put in two 1 TB Intel NVMe memory drives in it. I bought my 2013 Mac Pro about 2 years ago. It upgraded successfully.Īnybody know what to do to get it to install? Hardware wise. My 2016 MacBook works just fine and was doing well with the beta preview program. If I wait two months before I check again, am I going to find out that I still won't be able to update? Kind of getting disappointed here.
2018 MAC PRO SSD DIREVES UPDATE
and I am kind of surprised that their testing of the Monterey update did not reveal this. It seems that many people on the web are having this problem.
2018 MAC PRO SSD DIREVES SOFTWARE
I even just opened a terminal and ran the command "softwareupdate -fetch-full-installer -full-installer-version 12.0.1" to see if it would just pull down the whole update and that maybe I would get a different version than the one from the software update mechanism. I tried updating to Monterey both before and after I updated to the macOS Big Sur 12.6.1. Try running this application again." issue on my 2013 Mac Pro "Trash Can".
