Hello everyone,
Been reading Macrumors since forever, but now I finally made an account to post here as well. I am looking to buy a new MBP 16" to do some fairly heavy video editing on the go in DaVinci Resolve (mostly 2.6 and 4k Raw files, with lots of effects, noise reduction etc). Unfortunately I don't have the budget to get a completely maxed out machine, so I am asking whether its more beneficial for me to get the best processor or the maximum amount of ram? Graphics will be maxed out in both cases.
I have had a look at all the benchmarks as well as the tests done by Barefeats and Max Yurvev on Youtube. However I haven't seen this particular comparison anywhere, since most people are only comparing stock configurations and the "ultimate" configuration. Seems like Max in particular is recommending against the 2.4 i9, but then I have also seen people on here claiming real-world gains over the 2.3 i9.
So these are the two BTO configs I am currently looking at:
Thanks!

So these are the two BTO configs I am currently looking at:
- 2.4GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz
- 32GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
- AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory
- 1TB SSD storage
- 2.3GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz
- 64GB 2666MHz DDR4 memory
- AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 8GB of GDDR6 memory
- 1TB SSD storage
Thanks!
