2019 MacBook Pro 16-inch

This test is a real-world task relevant to Adobe Photoshop: batch convert raw files to JPEG. Disk I/O is not a significant factor for any of these machines, nor is memory.

Results: Raw file conversion to JPEG — Nikon D850 45-megapixel NEF lossless compressed

Part of the time required for processing Nikon D850 or Nikon Z7 lossless-compressed raw files is single-threaded only, as for all ZIP-style compression.

See the diglloyd in-depth review of the Nikon D850 and the diglloyd in-depth review of the Nikon Z7.
