Prosumer, but not pro. Pixar for example are not modelling and animating on Apple Silicon. On the video side Vegas Pro is used in a lot of production houses, and it does not run on Apple Silicon at all.

Yep, but only because of Apples terrible design. Take those same chips and put them in a machine with proper cooling and they fly. Its frustrating when Apple fans always blame that situation on intel, when in reality Apple messed up the des

The important part of this is 'Single threaded'. Whereas if you are actually using Cinebench to do real rendering you would always want multi core performance. Which pretty much makes Apples single Core benchmark results pointless

However the latency of DDR is much better than LPDDR, so its pros and cons.

Nope, laptops are just very cheap thin clients to remote onto the desktops with much higher power. This gives the advantage of being able to leave things compiling whilst you shut your laptop at the end of the day.

by alt227 1y ago
Yep, but then the laptop just becomes a screen and keyboard and can be the cheapest on the market. Remoting into your desktop to code is much more efficient than actually coding on a laptop, especially if you care about compile time. Then y
