![]() ![]() Do you use lots of Midi and VIs? I do, and PT doesn't always co-operate. i seriously believe Apple Silicon is the way forward. Though I'm currently using a 12th gen Windows system, I'm seriously attracted to the M2 because of the amazing reviews I've seen about M1. But again the SOC M1 with the gpu on-chip, I guess that is contributing.) All loading up different size previews in memory, and while on the i7 intel I'd get used to the odd second or two to wait for screen update of big lists, on the M1: just smoooth sailing. (Edit I'm sorry, I keep adding to this post I mentioned Lightroom I have a catalogue with 8000 something RAW images. They say the "M3" will be a 3 nanometer design, and therefore more potent than the 5nm M1/2. The clue here is we've always known that single core performance is clue to realtime audio processing, and the cores in M1 and M2 are basically the same. I know nothing about the M2, except what I read it seems it's built on the M1, same clock speed, more cores, and can access more ram. It just seems like the 'system-on-a-chip' ram handling works in a different way… It's good. ![]() This is with lots of things in the background, browser, streaming etc. The memory might run into the yellow in Activitymonitor, but everything is cool. I can tell you that I can run a PT session and Adobe Lightroom, which is more ram hungry than PT, without a hitch. I'm also happy with 16GB memory, but I'm mostly mixing audio. I haven't even bothered to try any apple silicon native DAW.) It's the biggest jump in power I've experienced in over three decades with macs! (Added: I'm talking strictly PT performance, and this is running PT in Rosetta2. I can't prove this in any way, but I came to the conclusion that the M1 gave me about 1.6 times the audio realtime processing power of the intel. I tried out sessions between them, and tried to get a unscientific realworld sense of the difference in performance. ![]() You don't use Windows at all, do you? How do you compare your M1's performance against the other macs you've used?įWIW I went from a i7 3,2mHz Mac Mini (2018) 32GB to a M1 mini 16GB 7 months ago. I believe you because I've read it in many places. I've come across this before and I asked the question here some time ago, but I was told it wasn't so. ![]()
