My posting isn't about that. Especially since there are a lot of different technology elements that I haven't studied. So how does a Intel Core i7-1068NG7 (4 cores) running at 2.3 GHz out perform a Intel Core i9-9980HK @ 2.4 GHz (8 cores)? I noticed the newer i7's are 14 nanometers. And the 2020 MBP 13" can have be configured with more RAM than the 16". I need a compute intensive machine (sorry, Apple bigot, leave it at that), and my 2015 MBP struggles with multi-person zoom and CAD programs. I've priced used 2018 MBPs with 32GB RAM that are only a couple hundred dollars cheaper than a new 2020 MBPs with equivalent RAM. Want to have an handle on all the issues before making a $2K investment. Thanks...</p></div>a_j_madisontag:support.primatelabs.com,2011-01-31:Comment/484686652020-07-19T08:04:23Z2020-07-19T08:04:25ZUnderstanding (Mac) Benchmarks<div><p>You haven't posted your results.</p></div>Artem S.
