It has come to this. Apple releases a supped up version of their mobile chip with tons of ad-hoc silicone and now mops the floor with intel.
How bad is it?
4K H265 scrubbing in Resolve
M1 PRO 16 GB + 512 GB SSD
20% utilization, scrubbing is as smooth as h264 or braw
12600K + 2060RTX 32 GB + god-knows-how-many TB of SSD
sluggish, the on-chip gpu (quicksync) is maxed out, in term of usability this falls into the forgetaboutit category.
Reimporting the plugins folder of a large project in Unity
M1 PRO 16 GB + 512 GB SSD
26 seconds of editor freeze
12600K + 2060RTX 32 GB + god-knows-how-many TB of SSD
60 seconds lol
Conclusion: if you want to game dev or edit, buy a mac.
