However despite the integrated graphics, it breezes through video editing in demanding apps like Resolve. Apple GPUs playing the latest games? Maybe! To take on Nvidia would be a great thing, if Apple really wants a bigger foothold in the overall PC industry, this is one path to go about it.Īnyway, so what about somebody who just wants a machine to edit 10bit 4:2:2 on without it stuttering? Well the new M1 powered MacBook Pro 13″ may well be VERY interesting to get hold of for that.Īpple M1 sits in an integrated SoC, with soldered RAM modules, and an integrated GPU – and a very small mainboard, barely any larger than the one in a top of the range iPad. 10bit 4:2:2 H.264 editing performance is pretty woeful on Intel and AMD CPUs, let’s admit it.Īlthough for the foreseeable future Apple silicon will remain in small & light consumer Apple devices, who knows where the path may lead in the future? Apple silicon in a high-end desktop Mac Pro? Likely. There are some big claims Apple is making for their new silicon.įor certain, the duopoly of Intel and AMD needs challenging even if this is very much a closed system available only for MacOS. How about editing 8K ProRes in DaVinci Resolve on a 13″ Macbook?
