My cMP is my benchmark for computing power, primarily in Logic Pro X. I have yet to get it to hiccup with a big complex project that’s several GB large. I would love to get an AS machine, but the thermal management of a small chip concerns me. Think it’ll balance out with the improved efficiency? Using Logic on my MacBook brings the computer to its knees real quick, so I’m apprehensive about the ability to handle sustained loads on the M1.
