    First M1 benchmarks are IN and yeah, it crushes everything.

    https://www.macrumors.com/2020/1…

    Macbook Air 2020 with M1:

    - single core - beats everything
    - multi-core - only the top Xeons are a bit better

    I expect the new Macbook Pro to crush everything at multi-core.
    And this is only the first generation...

    Intel/AMD are done (I mean by the time they scramble to get something new this time next year Apple will already be at M2 and so on)

    • If you see a speed comparison tool that would let me compare a 2017 3.8 Ghz iMac to a Mac mini, I would love to see those numbers.mg33

    • Guess I'll be passing on Macs going forward as bootcamp will not be supported :/SteveJobs
    • oh and this M1 is actually a more of 4-core processor, as it has 4 "full" cores and 4 secondary, so yeah, impressive performance!

    • And it's not just speed, it's speed vs power consumption. Better battery life with these numbers is really something.evilpeacock
    • Still gonna be at least 3 years before I switch - rosetta is not a realistic solution for audio software - and porting is not as simple as apple suggest...kingsteven
    • also there's going to be a big redesign of laptops and iMacs in the next year then things will start to get interesting along with USB4 hardware, GPGPU etc.kingsteven
    • ^No doubt is not the time to update rn, but this is a very promising start for this platform.
