If not please tell me which of these 3 is the best for me. I do a lot of art, video editing and I’d say light gaming like the sims and gta V. Thanks

Old macbook pro retina display early 2013 vs new macbook pro with similar specs Hi all - My MacBook pro is old, early 2013 version. I'll post the specs below. As it stands now, it feels like there's certainly occasions, usually when I'm running multiple apps, when the computer is very sluggish and "chugs". Seeing as how it's been nearly 9 years, I was thinking the updated MacBook pros would have far superior specs, but on first look it looks like they don't. I have an Intel core i7 2.7ghz processor with 4 cores. The newer computers (I'm looking at refurbished ones directly from Apple which is how I always buy) are only showing i7 2.6Ghz processors or i9 2.3ghz processors, but with more cores. Can you help me on if I'm missing something? I don't want to buy a brand new computer if it has nearly the same specs, but feel like I'm maybe missing something that others smarter on here may know and help me with. I know when I bought in 2013 I got the best I could get at the time. My workflow varies from running basic applications to video and audio editing/production. Any feedback and thoughts greatly appreciated. Current specs: Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro10,1 Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 6 MB Hyper-Threading Technology: Enabled Memory: 16 GB Boot ROM Version: 421.0.0.0.0 SMC Version (system): 2.3f36 Capacity: 500.28 GB (500,277,790,720 bytes) Model: APPLE SSD SD512E
