So, in this example, we have a 7th generation. The first number after the dash (-) indicates the generation. In this example, the command returned the following line: You’ll immediately see a new line of text with the exact make and model of your Mac’s CPU. Open Terminal then enter the following command at the command prompt: To verify the exact generation of your processor, launch Terminal, which you can find going to the Applications folder then the Utilities folder (or by searching for Terminal with Spotlight). Our own testing shows that pre 6th generation i5 or i7 processors (as may be in the iMac) would be at a disadvantage.
There may be other reasons for that big a difference, especially since the MacMini CPU is several generations newer. Will an iMac have improved performance over the Mac mini?īarry Brown Please check and compare Activity Monitor on both. Would things get better with an iMac that has a GPU? I can return the mini and get a 6-core i7 iMac with AMD Radeon 560, but no T2 chip. I was hoping the T2 chip and the newer processor in the mini would help with the video processing, although it may not make any difference since I'm not streaming the video. The Mac has integrated Intel UHD 630 graphics.Īnd guess what? The CPU usage isn't any better. The setup is the same, except the UltraStudio mini goes through an additional Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter. I thought that I could improve CPU using by getting a more modern machine. While the virtual camera output was on, CPU usage would range from about 50% to 80%, with an average of about 65%. Live Previews are set to "low framerate".Īll this was being done on a 2012 iMac with quad-core i7 and Nvidia GT 750 GPU. Audio from Scarlett 2i2 USB is captured and enhanced by Audio Hijack, mixed with background music from iTunes, and delivered to Zoom using Loopback Audio.Zoom also uses Logitech C920 as a second camera for talent (me).Video output goes to Zoom via Virtual Camera.Capture of iPad screen using Black Magic UltraSudio Mini HDMI to Thunderbolt 2.Capture of Mac laptop screen using Desktop Presenter.I'm using Wirecast to ingest a couple different video sources and making them available to Zoom via the virtual camera.
