The M1 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini are all impressive. But is Apple Silicon really going to end up being viable long term? Today we talk about a respectable Ryzen 4000 APU to demonstrate just how far ahead Apple may be...

Apple announced Apple Silicon and a transition to ARM from x86 earlier this year after years of rumors and speculation. The M1 SoC released in the M1 Mac mini, M1 MacBook Pro, and M1 MacBook Air is impressive. The chip is insanely efficient and has rather excellent performance-objectively-not just for a low-TDP chip. But how does it compare to something like a Ryzen 4750G APU. Or what about a top-of-the-line laptop CPU like the 5900HX? We benchmark both machines and demonstrate how Apple Silicon's power efficiency just can't be matched and how that might affect the high-performance of an upcoming M2 or M1X later this year.

Whoops! Every once in a while we make a mistake. The chart at 2:03 has the Mac with a score of 10173. It actually got 7793. I knew of this scoring disparity when I wrote the script as I used the term “manhandled,” but it seems we goofed in the edit by making the results appear closer than they were. All the other numbers however have been verified as correct. Apologies for the error!

[@ryanclouse299]

​@@razerow3391 Even with the SSD swap being high, it will probably still outlast the usefulness of the computer. It's not like it is a cheap SSD or HDD. Also the Dead Ryzen chips were only reported unusually high by one buyer in lower quantities which essentially could be a statistical anomaly (and seemingly so considering other retailers that have had much more stock only seem to have failure rates slightly higher than intels'). I am not sure what has been recently happening with x570 chipset and the usb ports, so I wont comment on that, but so far it looks to be a problem with pcie gen4 since they do work when switched to gen3. Also Intel is on their own 14nm which is much easier to get a hold of rather than TSMC's 7nm. Of course right now I recommend going intel for it's price for gaming. 10600k is $230 right now which is a pretty great price. For creatives, I'd have to recommend amd though. xP

[@deathdoor]

The secret is not the chip, is the software. Apple can make sure that every transistor put inside there will be used by the system. On PC no matter how strong the IGP or other supporting hardware, will Windows make use of it? Will windows make RIGHT use of it? Windows struggles even to handle high core CPUs. No matter how good the SoCs AMD and Intel can make, they don't have Apple's software integrating and this hurts a lot. Something needs to be done to solve this.

[@mytester6208]

@@doiceslife8374 microsoft dont have own arm... apple on the other hand, owns multiple hardware companies, and only builds a handful of devices that they can pick and choose and customize to run their own software... inefficiencies in pcs comes from too much customization and generic hardware combinations... software cant be minimized as it needs to run on too many varieties of hardware for way too long... apple has luxury to expire and not support old hardware... also apple's strength is that they are highly specialized in mobile devices and has so much cash to afford best people in the market to choose at any price they want. they have too much cash to afford these... i very much doubt apple chose to be this power house but as a by product of their mobile consumer business, they almost completely ignore business customers now. they however now have a product that came out of years of frustrations (i doubt they planned it like this but financial power and pure frustration) they can if they are clever put stuff for business market too... be it workstations and servers... i dont know if they want to but their mobile consumer business is doing way too well for them to divert their attention to commercial business... i hope they dont, as microsoft did in the past with mobile markets...

[@psuemor1651]

yeah but is still not that good at least as far as laptops and especially because apple is marketed many times for work, and apple is still a shitty company in more ways than any other, if i changed laptop or computer once every 1 or 2 years sure only now with the M1 chip it could make sense to move to apple (lowest tiers, not if you do heavy work) but there is still so many things to take in consideration, that being said if i wanted a small computer for a living room the M1 mac mini is the best option, i was surprised with this video because is what i have thought since this came out, probably mostly because of how weak the competition is, and if the macbook air was $200 cheaper it would be a clear winner (even with apple's practices), which is a huge improvement from the previous one where a $500-$600 laptop beated the macbook air. Of course apple is gonna probably sell more with this than ever before but as far as people that know about computers it got very close to the line of it being good for the price but not quite yet.

@@srikarvundavalli5934 Yeah my M1 mini is super reliable (also to note I'm a long Mac user, so that helped sway my decision to get one), but I found something that it can't do well, and it might be a software thing: I was trying to blur a serial number in my unboxing video of my mini (it's the newest video on my channel if you want to check it out) and I was trying to use DaVinci Resolve's tracking algorithm/feature. Each time I'd make an adjustment it would give me the spinning beachball of death. Maybe it's a weird version of Resolve? I don't know, but that's the only thing that gives my M1 beast any trouble. Editing/exporting etc is a slick experience (it takes no time at all to export a 13 minute project like my unboxing). I also got it for game console streaming (via capture card ofc) and I've done some test streams using OBS Studio and StreamLabs OBS for macOS (which are both running under Rosetta 2) and it was a decently smooth experience!

This sort of footage makes my razer 15 struggle when editing, especially when editing graded footage. The iPad handled the footage no problem at all, complete and smooth scrubbing, no hitching, no problem with colour grading applied as well completely seamless. Honestly I wouldn't be able to edit client work on it, nor would I want to do anything too complicated just due to the UI but I may shift any passion and personal videos on there. It was so much nicer, fun and easy to use in comparison with dealing with premiere pro and it's instability and I think a part of that is due to how simple iPadOS is.

There is different variants, so make sure you get with 120hz screen,i see now in my country, this laptop is at 650euros for limited time. laptop is fast and snappy, no heating or throttling issues as for now even on max load on both cpu and gpu. It comes with 500gb intel optane nvme ssd but 1 dim soldered ram and one dimm replacable. I managed to sqeese there 20gb ram and add extra crucial mx500 1tb ssd

I got the Macbook Air for £800 brand new. There are deals out there if you keep an eye out.

Great video, Honest, snarky, funny. Good job mate.

Hey Quinn do a video about the issue of memory swap on the drives of the M1 Macs vs other ssd's. Great intro music by the way!

[@LeesReviews69]

You’re lighting and camera quality is AMAZING. I bought my gf a gold M1 Air and she’s happy. I’m waiting on the new iMacs 😍

I know apple could never let this happen, but I’d love to see them bring their M1 successors to the custom build desktop market ARM certainly seems like the future of computing; I would love a beefed up gaming rig with an M2 or M3 in it

then all you will be missing are the games. ;)

Quinn, great video sir. I am impressed by what you had to say about the M1 Macs. I am wondering what the new Apple “M” chips will have in store?

[@wiswis]

awesome video! I've always wanted a better comparison between AMD's APUs and the M1.

[@SebThrows]

Quite amazing performance from what is Apple’s weakest silicon that will ever enter Mac. It’s rather impressive and just shows how complacent other companies have become

Have an M1 MBA - loaded, but sold it. Got the base Mac Mini M1 to use with my 1440P 27" monitor. It's actually bliss - I just took my 600W 9700K desktop off my desk, and stuck the M1 Mini there which is like 5% the volume. At first blush, the M1 feels as fast and powerful at everyday tasks, but what blows me away is I'm playing some of my beloved strategy games at 1440P with literally NO fan noise whatsoever. Civ VI runs very well at 1440P/Medium and runs so quiet you can hear pin drops in the room. I'm pretty excited about the next gen Mac Mini - sure hope they release an M1X model. I'm kinda over bug and huge computing devices.

[@DeviantXS-2468]

I don’t know how much more I can wait for the iMacs, goddam this is absolutely exciting!

I hope they redesign them too, make them look like a big bezel-less iPad with a stand.

[@ShiggitayMediaProductions]

I actually just last night ordered a basically max spec (besides SSD) M1 Mac mini... 16 GB and 512 GB SSD... It's going to take over for my 15" 2015 (max spec besides SSD) MacBook Pro as my "desktop Mac" setup, since my MBP is currently setup clamshell'd with two 24" displays attached (among other things). It was supposed to be my creative workstation (for some video editing, PS3/4/Switch/PSVita gaming with streaming and capture in the mix) as well as some graphics "work" (as I don't do it professionally) in there too. My aforementioned 2015 MBP gets bogged down with all that. As a laptop on its own it works super well for its age. The M1 Mac mini is gonna be a champ at all of what I aim to do and I'm excited! I appreciate the unbiased view points and the subtle humor you bring to the table, Quinn. Keep it up!

[@johnfloy]

I had my m1 mac mini now or a month and I absolutely love it. I mainly use it for logic pro x and it has really performed well.
