I've got the new M1 Macbook Pro. 16GB RAM. I have to say, the performance is very impressive for Apple silicon apps. With x86 apps in Rosetta, there's really not that much of a performance difference between the latest top-line Intel models. Noticeable though. But the Apple Silicon coded apps? Wow... Crazy fast. Navigation is so smooth. Battery life is incredible. For comparison, I just setup this beast earlier this week. 3.2Ghz Zeon. 48GB RAM. 2TB flash SSD. Performance for the most part, is visibly better on the M1. Just feels much snappier. I really thought it would be much closer. But these new M1 machines are no joke. Once developers catch up with coding ARM apps/drivers/extensions, it's going to be even more noticeable. Got a M1 Mac Mini on the way. That little beast has 10GB ethernet available for a $100 upgrade. The really cool thing... it doesn't share any bandwidth with the rest of the system. Linus did a test hooking up like 8 USB-C devices, and could not affect the network speed at all. It was really impressive. This new batch of ARM Apple Silicon has incredible potential. Best Apple hardware improvement in a long time... Last edited by Fish; 05-20-2021 at 09:50 PM.. |

The Apple silicon is a game changer. Can't be understated how great the M1 is and it's still in its infancy.
