#Best mac mini for video 64 Bit#
Still id wait to does a shootout between the old and new. We need to do a 32 bit EFI boot as the Mac Mini can not do 64 bit EFI boots. anyway you stack it i can't see one of these new ones beating out the old one on apps that actually use CPU's a lot. if thats the case then the higher clock speed and turbo boost will add to a bit more performance with these lame dual core mac minis. someone correct me if I'm wrong but i think the prior mac minis do not have turbo boost. I did notice that the new processors have "turbo boost". So upgrading to the i7 is really more about getting the extra virtual cores than it is about getting a measly 2.8ghz - 3.0ghz. if you only get the i5 then you really only have "2 cores" which is pathetic imo and would not be good for video.
#Best mac mini for video upgrade#
So if you do buy a new one you really need to do the upgrade from the i5 to the i7 which has "hyper threading" that will net you 4 cores. if you would get the quad i7 then you get "hyper threading" which nets you 8 cores.even though its not really equal to actual 8 cores but in many apps the extra virtual cores are used nicely to various processes. If you would have only bought the quad i5 on the older ones then you don't get the "hyper threading" that only comes with the i7's. The newer processors and slightly higher clock speed should mildly offset the fact that its not a quad anymore but how much is a question till someone tests them against the old.
going to 16 gigs of RAM made a huge difference. my son used to use an 2009 i7 quad iMac and with 8 gigs of RAM he got lots of spinning beach balls with FCPX when using a moderate amount of plugins. 8 gigs is a joke right now even though it will run but its like putting a 4 cylinder in a cadillac. But enough to run a lot of games at acceptable frame rates. Not as fast as the average gamer GPU card in a custom-built PC, granted. It has Nvidia GeForce 320M integrated graphics.
That's the last Mac mini model to sport a built-in SuperDrive. if you think 8 gigs is enough now i guarantee in a year or two it won't because software is always wanting more power and resources. VPN Deals: Lifetime license for 16, monthly plans at 1 & more. also taking it up to 16 gb of RAM is a must and really mandatory as it seems that its no longer user upgradable. and tutorials - in addition to installation videos, lists of compatible. The downgrade to dual from quad CPU's doesn't look good. With all the discussion about new Mac Pro coming, how good the Mac Mini 2018 is.
