Speed test: M1 MacBook Air vs. Intel iMac Pro

Three surprisingly close video transcoding tests between the Nick’s new M1 MacBook Air and Griffin’s more expensive Intel-based iMac Pro.

THREE TESTS:

  1. A 42-minute timeline render in Final Cut Pro X*
    *while full-screen recording in Quicktime

  2. ProRes transcoded into 10mbps H.264 in Adobe Media Encoder

  3. H.264 export in Final Cut Pro X

(The app Nick uses to monitor CPU usage/temperature is iStat Menus.)
