Arent the adobe apps (specifically premiere and after effects) notoriously known for being optimized for NVIDIA thus not performing so good in MacOS? At least that's my understanding.The fact that a laptop can often times outperform a Mac Pro with 50% more cores, goes to show that even apps that Pros use, can favor low core-count but higher frequency CPUs. Also the new Navi GPU in the MacBook Pro seems to work very well.
Imagine if, without testing, he had bought a maxed out Mac Pro, thinking that for his specific Pro tools, more cores/more expensive = better investment/productivity. He would have wasted his money and gotten worse performance.
Folks also mentioned that GPU utilization is still low and should improve within the next os versions which explains low performance in some scenarios, so I am not sure those early results are representative enought to take conclusions as of now... IMHO, could be wrong tho...
