8370 w/ R9 380X 4GB vs Late 2013 Macbook pro Rendering Performance

[GeekaWhat]

I have a late 2013 macbook pro, with 8GB RAM and a 2GHz i7, I also have an FX8370 and a 380X, I currently use the MAcbook but for premiere would the CPU and GPU combo beat out the i7 2GHz CPU with in build Iris graphics?

 

Thanks,

depends on what kind of encoding you use

why don't you just check it out for yourself?

render a 10 min clip on both machines, see which one wins?

I would have, but I only have one premiere license so can't move it back and forth, its h.264 encoding

Id say the 8370 and 380X would be better. Im assuming the i7 is also only a dual core?

No its a quad core i7 -  I7-4750HQ

Those onboard graphics can't stand up to a real GPU, but that CPU is hard to beat.

Why don't you just buy one of those thunderbolt-based GPU enclosures along with a powerful GPU?

Why don't you just buy one of those thunderbolt-based GPU enclosures along with a powerful GPU, use bootcamp to install windows, and game that way?

I'm building an X99 PC anyways w/ 5820K and 390X, I didn't purchase the AMD stuff but have it so just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing put on too much performance

Premiere isn't going to do that well with the onboard graphics, and it won't see a huge improvement with the 380x either, as it's geared more towards CUDA Cores than AMD's Stream Processors.

if you're not using Intel quicksync then the desktop any day

Ah OK, is it worth making the move over?
