  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

New Apple MacBook Pro 14″ and 16″ with M1 Pro and M1 Max Chips Announced

Talking M1 Pro/Max MacBooks with Apple!


by Same Brain


 
Well I bought the M1 Max with 32GB... I wonder if 64GB RAM would have taken more advantage of the CPU/GPU when using R3D footage in Resolve...? Any idea...?
 
Any numbers/performance comparisons yet? Or details of the High Performance Mode on 16” M1m models? (And also an explaination why they can’t do it with the models?)

Apple M1 Pro/Max and why Intel LOST


by Alexander Ziskind


 
When working with 8K frames, more RAM is worth the cost - as proven in GPU testing with discrete nVidia and AMD cards the last few years. In a unified memory architecture, available graphics RAM is whatever the system/CPU isn't using. This is why I went with 64GB of RAM instead of 32. Moreover, while the US$400 bump is not cheap - in Appleville, that's actually less than I expected. Yes, faint praise, but still...

Cheers - #19

Watching this video seems that a the M1 Pro doesn't handle well and 8K RED Raw on a 4K timeline, even on 1080 timeline is not fluid.
Still waiting to see a M1 Max test with a RED Raw on Resolve and I hope to see a better result.
 
Any of you fellow primates get yours today? My estimated delivery got pushed back a week. Now saying November 10. Meh…

Several customers awaiting deliveries of their new redesigned MacBook Pros are being told that their shipments are being delayed due to "mechanical" issues impacting UPS, a courier used by Apple to ship its devices worldwide.
 
Mine arrived today. M1 Max 32 core, 64GB RAM. It's very early on but I had 6 streams of monstro 8K with picture and picture effect with some blurs all playing at Full res premium at around 20-22fps in Resolve 17.4 (4k DCI timeline). noise reduction knocked it down considerably. So, nothing too scientific yet. Performance in FCPX seems similar. A lot of testing remains though but so far pretty impressed.
 
Does anyone know a way to get the M1 to use a 2015 iMac as a really nice GUI screen. I don't think M1s can use target mode and I do know about the 3rd party dongles but wondering if there are any other methods. It would be such a killer setup.

Also, what I'm really hoping for is that you will be able to use distributed processing between multiple Apple Silicon machines and get some unreal performance down the line. Like a super cluster.
 
If your iMac supports it, you can connect it to your new MBP with the proper ThunderBolt cable setup. Then on the iMac press CMD+F2 and it should flip into target display mode. So you will need a TB3 to TB2 adapter and then a TB2 cable to connect the two systems. If it's the 27" 5K model, it will only run in 4K resolution or lower, not 5K. I think because of that 4K/5K thing, 2015 and newer iMacs, including the iMac Pro, don't support Target Display Mode. I know the iMac Pro for sure does not, have not tried myself on a 2015.
 
unfortunately looks like my 2015 imac can't be used as a display
