When I write music, I usually don't have all this stuff open, I just wanted to push the cpu and see what its usage was at.Ĭlearly the 7th gen i7 can handle anything i throw at it without breaking a sweat. I also had premiere pro, photoshop, and about 20 google chrome tabs in the background. Also, I opened up the biggest Logic session on my current iMac (plenty of instances of reverb, numerous piano plugins from NI and numerous alchemy, zebra2, reaktor, synths with about 60 tracks and my cpu was barely hitting 20%. I already have an external SSD for my project files. I do not compose orchestral music or have an elaborate sample library. I typically work with soft synths and various 3rd party plugins. The mac mini will strictly be for music production. So, I will not be video editing on the mac mini - that will be done on the soon-to-be Windows PC. So I ask: will the 6 core i5 be sufficient? Typically, I would buy the biggest and best Mac, but because I want to get 2 computers out of this, I want to make sure I get the most for my money. So, I want to sell my iMac and use the funds to build a PC and buy a 2018 mac mini.

So what's the problem you might ask? Why am I looking at a Mac Mini when I already have a wonderful workstation that'll last me many years? The TL DR of it is that I want to build a Windows PC for various reasons, but still want to use Logic Pro X (I've decided I don't want to mess with a hackintosh).
#CAN MAC MINI I7 QUAD CORE FOR MAC#
I've already gone down the rabbit hole of the whole "usb issues, audio crackling" threads for mac mini and have determined it shouldn't really be an issue and likely only affect a small number of users for various reasons, and isn't any actual defect of the device itself.Īs you can see by my signature, I already own a beast of an iMac which works wonders for Logic Pro X - the 2017 27" i7 (quad core), full ssd and tons of ram to boot. Hey guys, as the title says, I'm looking to pick up a 2018 Mac Mini and can't decide between i5 or i7.
