I replaced an AMD RyzenThreadripper 1950X with an entry level M1 Mini.
Main things: 1/4 the RAM so I just need to be mindful about what I keep open. That said, Apple’s memory management is amazing, so this isn’t as big a deal as I thought it would be. Use macports. Native binaries. I don’t use Chrome. I use Orion or Safari and those are great. For dev work, I do Bash, Ruby, and x86 ASM. I test the assembly stuff in UTM. Nothing I do is really heavy, except for compiling Linux for random hardware I have as a hobby pursuit.
The only thing I miss is prototyping setups of servers. I don’t have enough RAM or threads. This doesn’t bother me much tho, since cloud pricing has dropped since 2017.
