Intel makes their newer CPUs to work faster overall. If you wish to keep your costs down (main driver here), use the earlier CPU. That is what I would do in this situation.

Yes Shaun,<br />
<br />
but in the benchmark comparison:<br />
besides the power consumption difference, i only see difference in number of samples.<br />
but have no idea this has an influences,neither with the GHZ, since i base my reasoning on the big red number &nbsp;:-)<br />
<br />
if i disable the cpu graphics, and will use the quadro i think will have the best bang for buck, correct ?

<div>
You don't want to disable the GPU graphics

i'm looking to buy a &quot;new&quot; laptop<br />
<br />
i want to use it for photoshop (files up to 60MB) <br />
occasional video editing (10min files maximum) 1920x1080 resolution is OK for final results.<br />
<br />
since prices of new laptops with high end cpu start over 2.000€ i was looking to buy second hand market.<br />
<br />
i found some HP Zbooks for 600€ that have core i7-4910mq processor + dedicated graphics Nvidia Quadro K2100M<br />
<br />
new laptops have either Xeon, or core i7-8550u but have high prices<br />
<br />
Here is a CPU comparions<br />

<br />
My question is simple, is it really worth it to ga &quot;all in&quot; and purchase state of the art tech, or will a 2015 model still suffice for several years to come ?

Does a  4th gen core i7-4910mq has the upperhand over 8th Intel® Core™ i7-8550U

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
