To exclude effects and transition processing time, we used a relatively simple video project with standard source clips in H.264 720p, 8-bit 420, High Profile video with AAC-LC audio muxed into MP4 to the DaVinci Resolve Studio 17.2.1 timeline and rendered it to various formats. Both laptops were running macOS 11.4 Big Sur. Tests were performed on a MacBook Pro (2018) powered by an Intel Core i7 (6-cores), 2.6 GHz with 16 GB RAM and a MacBook Pro (2020), powered by an Apple M1 (8-cores) with 16 GB RAM. In our lab, we compared the time it takes to render a project on an Intel Mac against an M1 Mac for the MainConcept presets. One that had adopted the new chipset was the popular video-editing solution DaVinci Resolve Studio from Blackmagic Design, which was highlighted during Apple’s November announcement. However, when Apple first announced its M1 chipset, very few companies had completely ported their software to the new Apple Silicon. In addition to making the transition easier for users, the Rosetta emulator has quelled the fear among software manufacturers that their products would no longer be compatible with the new Apple platform. With the Rosetta 2 emulator, users can run software natively developed for Intel-based Macs on the new M1 chipset. To ensure that no x86 users were left behind, macOS Big Sur introduced the Rosetta 2 emulator. This results in incredible performance with extremely low power consumption which reduces battery usage and enables worker mobility. In addition, the M1 offers up to eight GPU cores for graphics processing and speed.
The Apple M1 chipset today comes with four high-performance and four energy-efficient CPU cores.
