MaxTech, 9to5Mac, and others on YouTube have compared 4K and 8K Final Cut Pro timeline scrubbing and exporting on M1 Mac mini versus (a) 16 Inch MacBook Pro and (b) 28-Core 2019 Mac Pro and found the $700 Mac mini to outclass them both.
Having watched a fair number of M1 reviews on YouTube, I am quickly coming to the conclusion that within 12 to 18 months there will be no further reason to run an Intel-based Mac.
Incidentally, not for a single moment did I think that the 2019 Mac Pro (starting price $6000) made any sense. Some YouTubers purchased $30,000 Mac Pro configurations that are being outclassed by the $700 Mac mini. When higher end Apple Silicon Macs arrive next year, I can only imagine how far ahead they will be.
It is pretty stunning. My i9-9900 OC'd benchmarks at 1380/9000 and the Mac mini with apple silicon around 1750/7500. A true desktop CPU will blow the i9 out of the water for multi-core as well.
