I would say you’d be just fine, specially since you said you did 32GB memory (which you’d notice way before the 2 extra CPU cores). But that is me and I am decidedly not an expert.So doesn’t it seem like going from my late 2013 2.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 to the M1 Pro 8 core CPU is going to be just fine? I can get small size and good quality but it runs slow. I can get things to run fast and the quality will be good, but the size will be large. The Macs I had before the M1 were old enough that they didn’t support hardware encoding so I don’t know how that works on the Intel machines.įrom my experience with encoding, there are 3 options: speed, quality, and size. If you use the Apple Toolbox encoder, there are a lot fewer options, and the encoding will be blazing fast because it is processed on the custom hardware. The only difference that I know of is that the M1 will be whisper quiet and the Intel fan will be a rocket. This is CPU limited, you would need a ton of cores to make this faster, so M1X would destroy Intels, but that doesn’t exist… yet. There won’t be a big difference between the M1 and Intel in terms of speed. If you use the software encoders, you have more options, and the entire encoding is done on the CPU. I think it will really depend on the video encoder that you use. In my experience, the M1 encodes and decodes significantly faster than basically any intel chip from the past few years (the 16" Pro, Mac Pro, and 27" iMac are faster but that is because of their AMD graphics being able to accelerate the process not because of any intel chip and even then the difference is not by as much as you would think). You might be able to get similar performance if you get a PC with a recent AMD or Nvidia graphics card (and make sure you configure handbrake to use GPU acceleration), however, that graphics card by itself is going to cost almost as much as a base M1 mini.Īs someone who edits a ton of video in DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro, if handbrake is not performing better on the M1 chip than a 2018 Intel chip with integrated graphics, that sounds like an issue with handbrake not taking advantage of the new chipset. Last I saw any Apple Silicon chip (including those in iPads and iPhones) is able to encode and decode H.265 faster than anything from Intel.
