Note that there's no comparison to hardware supporting other operating systems. Since Apple computers were never known for their video performance, this claim actually seems reasonable. In the example screenshot, pertaining to DaVinci Resolve, it's claimed that the MacBook Pro 16' M1 Max has a performance increase of 1.9x versus the previous model. Claims are also made of the performance increases of Apple silicon versus Intel. Stripped of headlines, Apple's own copy goes no further than claiming that the M1 provides the best performance to power-consumption of any processor. Second, it has very low power requirements, making it eminently suitable for portable computing. In particular, this allows memory to be freely allocated between these functions. First, it integrates CPU (processor) and GPU (graphics) capabilities to a degree previously unseen. It has two main characteristics that justify this statement. The M1 is a revolutionary processor chip. This applies twice over to Apple, who have particularly fervent fans. Unfortunately, YouTube does the opposite, acting as an amplifier for any fanbase, providing a platform for breathless videos that fail to critique new products. I adopt a sceptical approach to manufacturers' marketing copy. In this article I will summarise information provided on the Blackmagic forums, in order to judge the worth of these systems for video editing. Since Apple introduced their new M1 'system on a chip' there's been incredible hype over the capabilities of their laptops.
