![]() These very high core cpus were limited to more expensive quad channel motherboards. So Yes i wont see difference now with either m1 pro most likely but i feel like multithreading in applications are advancing more and more albeit much more slowly than hardware where mainstream desktops can have up to 16 cores on 5950x. When everything was mostly dual or max of quad cores for mainstream my expensive 6 core intel cpu wasn’t much faster but as a several years went by the standard is now 8 cores and many applications are now using 6-8 cores. But if that changes in a few years and more applications can use more cores then there would be a meaningful 20% gain and at that point i would wish i kept the 10 cores. ![]() The extra cores for most applications seem to limit to 6 cores looking at activity monitor. But seems like rosetta 2 doesn’t really know to make use of more than 6-8 cores and usually prioritize the efficiency cores. For final cut the encoder does most of the work so cpu doesn’t matter as much. For optimized apps like logic pro it does make difference but i don’t use logic. But i wonder how much of that fault is due to poor optimization of most applications. If i were to downgrade to 8/14 i know right now there probably wont be a huge difference in most tasks and i save $270 after apple education savings and upgrading ssd and power adapter (basically free apple care).
