The CPU is not even throttling at all while gaming! The 2.6 i7 is pushing stable 4 GHz! And that’s without any modifications whatsoever!
This could possibly be because the GPU is doing most of the work. Other workload rendering intensive work sees that the i7 2.6 still throttles. Also on a side note, his accent annoys me. Haha.

Can someone explain this comment to me? It’s a comment from Jonathan Morrison’s latest i9 video...
‘The i7 model that this i9 lost to in Dave’s video was not even the 2018 i7. It was the 2017 quad core i7. Jonathan Morrison ignored that and compared the 2018 i7, which is literally the same chip as the i9 but binned worse and requiring more voltage therefore producing more heat and throttling more. Of course the i9 would win in this comparison.’
Is this really the case, and going by this argument is the i9 worth it?
And a link to the video:
Why would he lie about using the 2018 i7 and destroy his entire reputation?
Worth it is relative. Is the i9 the best real world performer? Yes. Does everyone need the i9? No. Is the difference significant? Depends on your workload but a good calculation is if you are saving 1 minute per process, and you do this at least around 30 times in a work day, that saves you 30 minutes a day. 30 minutes a Day is 15 hours a month. If I am paid an x amount of money per hour. That means I would earn 15 hours more than I normally would. And imagine if I earned 150 bucks an hour minimum. That earns me an extra 2250 bucks a month. Or 27000 bucks a year. Damn that’s good money.
Now if I were smart and don’t really need to be portable, I’d get a desktop Mac and make those numbers even faster. But as someone working with and am a photographer, I need my work to be portable.
