Macbook pro 15" 2015 - AMD Radeon R9 M370X

Hi all,

I ordered a 15" Macbook pro (Nvidia GT750M) a month ago and just received the delivery confirmation of a new model with an AMD Radeon R9 GPU instead of the Nvidia.

  • 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
  • Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz
  • 16GB 1600MHz memory
  • 512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
  • Intel Iris Pro Graphics
  • AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2GB GDDR5 memory

I'm a filmmaker and mainly use Premiere Pro (85%) ,After Effects (15%), edit UHD footage on long timelines.

I'm about to cancel my order and can't find any advice/feedback about that new AMD GPU With Premiere Pro.

If anyone knows something, I'll be very grateful to hear from him/her.

Thanks

Jean-Michel

I've worked in Premiere with it, it handles very nicely, no compatibility issues so far.

I have a big problem with the Macbook Pro with the AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB and Adobe Premiere Pro CC

The CPU fan from the macbook is going crazy when I press play. I need a headphone to edit!

From Adobe I received yesterday an email that the issue has been resolved but I don't see any update  in Adobe Cloud.

Has anyone the same problem and a solution to fix the problem?

    Hi,

    The Macbook pro 15" 2015 - AMD Radeon R9 M370X will have an advantage over the last model in every aspect including the GPU which apple claim only 80% performance boost.


    Don't forget performance made out of lots of moving parts GPU, 2GB GDDR5 memory, SSD speed (2.5 time faster- BIG ONE), RAM speed, OS etc. also some application are not so efficient in utilizing the available resources, for example Final cut pro X will take full advantage of this hardware, also Adobe are very good in keeping up with Open CL performance for the last few years.


    I think you should cancel your order

    The link below will convince you

    might be too new to get info about the R9 M370X, but found these:

    Thoughts on AMD Radeon R9 M370X over the Nvidia 750m? - MacRumors Forums

    2015 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro’s dGPU (R9 M370X) Is Cape Verde

    as far as performance, anandtech's website says its based off the R9 M270X, which benchmarked slightly faster than the nvidia gt 750m. the nvidia gt 750m is based off nvidia's older generation chips and makes sense its going away.

    Thanks a lot Ronin,

    Once again it's a nightmare to figure out how a new GPU will work or not with a specific application. Apple's politic is to do everything for Final Cut X and that's it.

    About Adobe Premiere Pro, I think as long as you can't try to open a real project (like 90 minutes film), we won't know if their new configuration will be fine or not.

    After 22 years on Apple computers I really think I'll move to PC workstations.

    I wish you a very good day!

    Thanks again,
