28 core mac pro with w6800x duo vs maxed out m1 32 gpu core max
Cost difference aside, just talking pure power for r3d raw. Impressive how far the max has come vs the original m1
Here are some more numbers, and I plan to test with quad w6800x duos too, but even with just 1 duo on average the Mac Pro is between 1.5 to 2 times faster, sometimes more like 2.5 times depending on the task
R3d raw is still very gpu intensive, so that’s why. Other codecs like from Sony or canon will have a different result as the m1 likes those more
R3d raw 8k to 8k pro res 422 HQ:
Mac Pro (28 core, w6800x Duo) 3 min 57 seconds
MacBook m1 max (32 core gpu, 64gb ram) 8 min 25 sec
(H264 export from 8k to 4K is similar to the pro res numbers)
8k stabilize 1 minute clip:
Mac Pro 1 min 32 sec
M1 max: 3 min 33 sec
Red Komodo 6k export to 422 pro res HQ:
Mac Pro: 2 min 14 sec
M1 max: 3 min 28 sec
Red 4K 120p helium 5 min clip to h264:
Mac Pro: 1 min 42 sec
M1 max: 4 min 7 sec
