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

Interesting..if working with pro res raw or just pro res like 4444 or 422, the m1 macbook actually seems to be faster than the Mac Pro by a decent margin

Would make sense, the m1 has new pro res encoders and decoders.

I’m going to test using afterburner too, but even with that I’m not sure the mac pro can beat the m1 with pro res only

Impressive!

That Max is keeping up pretty damn good considering this MacPro build would cost AT LEAST 19,000 dollars. 4 min difference, and in a portable body, pretty amazing to me
Yes it’s very impressive, things are looking good!
