Hello fellow Hardware warriors,
I am planning to buy a new HP Mobile Workstation. Mainly for 4K workhorse editing. I can live with wait render times. For me and client realtime editing on watch, I need a system that can pull through. Surely, most new systems today can to do this.
My question is, it seems like the new Iris Pro P580 soon to be implemented on available release provides what benefit for exclusively being on Xeon vs me getting a high end i7? I am aware that they are all based on Skylake, but what's the difference or advantage in performance long term or now with the P580 on the Xeon vs an i7 (lower Iris Pro version) and a high end dedicated card?
The P580 exclusively on the Xeon is about 800 bucks more when customizing.
My priorities are:
UHD DreamColor display
Turbo Drive NVMe
Thunderbolt 3 ports
