M1 PRO vs 12600k


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.
