Intel i7 6th generation vs. 7th
I'm considering the Dell XPS 8910 or 8920. The 8910 is $120 cheaper ($880) and has a 6th generation i7 and a NVIDIA graphics card. The 8920 has a 7th generation i7 and an AMD graphics card. They both have a 1TB hard drive. I have a separate 256GB drive that I can install. They both have 16 GB RAM, can take up to 64GB. I am using Cubase , the East West Composer Cloud, Omnisphere and Stylus RMX. Please advise. Be kind.

It seems mainly the benefit is video, web browsing, power savings, and speed tweekability, probably nothing to do with an audio recording setup. I mean I'm sure Cubase is probably light years away from 4K video, if it ever will have it. Power savings isn't as important on a desk top as it would be on a laptop, and 1 computer versus a network of computers, and it's probably not worth the stability issues to go bumping up the speed on your cpu for critical recording software. Imo, save the $120.
