A few days ago, I put a benchmark together with native third party plugins in Logic Pro and compared it with my 9900KS running at 5 GHz on all cores in Pro Tools Ultimate.
I created the same chain of plugins, same FX busses and same bus processing, identical.
On the M1, it's about 37 activated tracks, in Pro Tools Ultimate on my 9900KS, which is equivalent to a 12 Core Mac Pro 2019, about 34 tracks.
M1 37 vs 9900KS 34 tracks.
Which means the M1 has more Processing power / equal in Logic than a 12 Core Mac Pro from 2019 in Avid's Pro Tools.
The Session was set up using Fabfilter and Valhalla plugins (which are available both in Apple Silicon) using a Lynx Aurora (n) with 1024 buffer.
