i9-8950HK Compatibility
Hi there
I need to make a decision on which MacBook Pro to buy. Is there anyone with some experience with the maxed out MacBook Pro 2018? Can I expect i9-8950HK to be supported in ProTools 2019? Or is it safer to go for the i7? I already made the mistake once some time ago to choose the fastest CPU with a Mac that was never supported by ProTools and that performed worse than my older computer. I am aware of the ProTools 2018 / Mojave situation. Many thanks Last edited by anotherone; 04-25-2019 at 01:57 PM. |

Re: i9-8950HK Compatibility
I ended up going with the i7-8850H because of the issues mentioned above and I'm very happy with it so far. My MacBook Pro handles excessive mix sessions with >120 Tracks and lots of CPU heavy plugins as well as a lot of virtual instruments with ease.
I think they kind of fixed the heat issue with the i9-8950 by just throttling it's performance. The newer 2019 model is supposed to handle this better, but I can't tell you more about this than what they say in their advertisements. If I had to make a buying decision right now, I would go with the 16" 2019 model for sure, but as I said, I can't complain right now about my 2018 model. |
