I personally hope that within six months we'll see an eGPU specifically designed to work with Apple Silicon. Anytime I tried to load in a 12K Blackmagic RAW footage, Resolve immediately crashed on the M1, but not the Intel. One thing to note was that while running the DaVinci Resolve 17 beta software, I did have crashes on the M1 system that didn't happen on the Intel system. The new M1 based system cruised on a render upresing 1080p to 8K SUHD. On a feature film render or export that is going to be a major timesaver. My hope was that renders would be roughly the same speed or just slightly slower, but they were a whopping 30% faster. Honestly I found it so shocking I ran the renders several times to make sure it wasn't a fluke. That's a shockingly big speed increase for a computer only six months newer and with half the system RAM. Renders that took 30 seconds on Intel took 20 seconds on the new M1. Working with Premiere felt just as snappy as responsive as it did on Intel, perhaps even more soon. Whatever magic Apple had to work with Rosetta 2 seemed to work just fine. However, benchmarks can show you one thing, and real-world tests are another matter altogether.ĭespite needing to go an additional layer, we were still very impressed. In addition to Barefeets, you should also check in with Dork in A Tent, a popular DIT blog, who has been testing the new M1 based Mac Mini, and it's undeniably fast in pure testing. Those numbers are insanely impressive in terms of how fast the new M1 Apple Silicon chips are running versus Intel, especially since the programs they tested, like Lightroom, are not optimized for Apple Silicon, and thus, run through an emulation layer. If you don't already follow Barefeets, they are among the best, and they have already launched some pure numbers on the M1 versus Intel that are worth a look. There are a lot of very sophisticated people doing tests to generate raw benchmarks out in the world. This way, when more processing moves over to the GPU for something like rendering, there will be more unified memory available that was previously usually available as dedicated VRAM. With the M1, both the CPU and the GPU are able to use the same shared memory, called unified memory. Gone are the days when you would hunt for systems with the RAM and video ram (or VRAM) when shopping for a video editing and color grading machine.
