Kev144 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Probably ok but not at their price. Cinebench has it much lower performance than similar spec amd ryzen and Intel 11th Gen processors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 We've started shipping M1 based Macbook Pros to our newest employees or anyone needing a laptop refresh. I'm told by one of my guys who has one he loves it. Fans never run and it doesn't generate nearly the heat of his previous Intel system.

ActionfigureJoe Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 I pulled the trigger on a pro. Spent the morning processing photos and editing a couple of vids. The hype is real. It flies. This thing is going to boot stomp the pc market. My only complaint is it’s lack of ports. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower ipc than even Intel's 11th Gen which is still on what 14 or 10 nm while the m1 is at 5nm. It will do well in the video editing and old folks who need simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been eating I9’s with more memory. It totally blows away my I7. It’s a damn sweet machine. A massive step up for video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
