Hello.
I am planning to buy a new MBP 15” and I was wondering is the extra money needed to upgrade it to the latest processor is worth it.
I need it for digital illustration, 3D modelling and rendering.
Hi,
CPUs are normally rated by their base speed, not Turbo Boost, so I think you're asking about going from a 2.9GHz to a 3.1. The following pics of GeekBench scores show that the difference between the two is negligible in Multi-Core performance, which is what your Mac will be using with the heavy tasks you're going to be running, so no, I would not spend the extra money on the 3.1GHz, unless you need to eek out every tiny bit of speed:

Hello tjk,
Thank you very much. I then decided to save the money I would have used for the upgrade.
Kind regards
You're welcome. 🙂
Is there much difference between i7 3.9 and 4.1?
