Hi everyone!
I’m using a MacBook Air (2013) with i5-4250U and want to update to some newer model. The main goal is to decrease server restart time of a big Node.js project and decrease time of TypeScript compilation. Currently it takes about 8 and 25 second respectively. As projects growing it starting really bothers me.
I’m choosing between:
The question is: is it worth to spend +600$ more for additional 2 cores?
The benchmarks shows that the i7-9750H up to 35% faster in multicore benchmarks, but in single-core the 1038NG7 can be even a bit faster. Also 9750H has 2 times bigger L3 cache.
RAM and storage are the same, but the 13-inch model has faster memory: 3733MHz vs 2666MHz.
80% of the time I use an external monitor, so screen size is not a dealbreaker for me.
