November 20, 2020 at 3:44 amApparently the M1 optimised version of Resolve 17.1 on a Mac mini blows away the Intel version

Even Apple wary old me might consider an ARM MacPro down the track. I wonder how long it will take Win to go this way. I’m also glad I am doing my current PC rebuild with a Ryzen 24 core threadripper.

I would hope that it would. The intel Macmini has the iris graphics which aren’t great.
The test I’d like to see is a fully blown out 16″MBP vs an M1 Macmini or MBP13.
Also, I thought that this required Thunderbolt 4, but apparently OWC has a hub that works with Thunderbolt 3 and Big Sur.

November 20, 2020 at 9:50 pmwell, unlike the 2019 Mac Pro, let me assure you, at this price, I am ordering a M1 Mac mini, as soon as it is shipping. It seems “too good to be true” for the price. I already have a 2018 Mac mini, and my 2009 flashed Mac Pro with it’s Nvidia card needs to go to the recycle bin – and at this price, the 2020 M1 Mac mini is just irresistible.

November 20, 2020 at 11:49 pmThe video is worth watching to see just how good the performance is with such an entry level machine. I don’t know how many machines in the Mac Intel range this machine outperforms but it is clearly indicating M1 chips are showing enormous promise with performance and power saving. It is also significant in that it shows companies like BM are already making ARM software versions and they are seriously working. As Affinity is also ARM ready, I only need iZotope to make their software ARM ready and there are reasons to reconsider Apple computers as competitive again for me.

November 27, 2020 at 5:33 amwow – thanks – did not know I was really noticed here.
A few years back I had to evacuate my home due to the lava eruption pumping out noxious gases and “Pele’s hair”. 6 months on someone’s lanai with my wife and my 3 cat buddies.
And now so many skin cancer operations – I did not get to this forum until I noticed the upgrade. And if I still had the one little video job … I would have had enuf to get the new M1 Mac mini. As it is I had to meet up with someone just after a skin cancer operation to get a Mac mini 2014.
The new silicon seems exciting for our industry – esp with that special area which seems to want to compress video very closely.
