episode we're going to be talking about technology and how quickly talking about technology and how quickly talking about technology and how quickly it advances okay and is it worth your it advances okay and is it worth your it advances okay and is it worth your money to actually buy the top spec line money to actually buy the top spec line money to actually buy the top spec line item right and then you know hold out item right and then you know hold out item right and then you know hold out longer until the next Generation next longer until the next Generation next longer until the next Generation next next next Generation comes up where you next next Generation comes up where you next next Generation comes up where you have to upgrade or do you just get the have to upgrade or do you just get the have to upgrade or do you just get the middle of the line or the bottom line middle of the line or the bottom line middle of the line or the bottom line item and just upgrade every generation item and just upgrade every generation item and just upgrade every generation right that's what seems to happen right that's what seems to happen right that's what seems to happen nowadays right so nowadays technology nowadays right so nowadays technology nowadays right so nowadays technology seems to advance so quickly there's so seems to advance so quickly there's so seems to advance so quickly there's so much competition driving Innovation all much competition driving Innovation all much competition driving Innovation all that kind of fun stuff it seems like that kind of fun stuff it seems like that kind of fun stuff it seems like every time any anybody releases every time any anybody releases every time any anybody releases something marketing is really good at something marketing is really good at something marketing is really good at doing their job and trying to tell you doing their job and trying to tell you doing their job and trying to tell you exactly why you need the top speec one exactly why you need the top speec one exactly why you need the top speec one right or how much better it is than the right or how much better it is than the right or how much better it is than the previous generation right so a lot of previous generation right so a lot of previous generation right so a lot of that stuff may be important but on that stuff may be important but on that stuff may be important but on today's episode we're going to be today's episode we're going to be today's episode we're going to be talking about Apple Computers right but talking about Apple Computers right but talking about Apple Computers right but more specifically around their MacBook more specifically around their MacBook more specifically around their MacBook lineup okay so for me uh I personally lineup okay so for me uh I personally lineup okay so for me uh I personally use these uh MacBooks uh to edit videos use these uh MacBooks uh to edit videos use these uh MacBooks uh to edit videos and post them online obviously for like and post them online obviously for like and post them online obviously for like a video like this right A lot of people a video like this right A lot of people a video like this right A lot of people may use to do a bunch of other stuff I'm may use to do a bunch of other stuff I'm may use to do a bunch of other stuff I'm going to go ahead and tell you if you're going to go ahead and tell you if you're going to go ahead and tell you if you're trying to find a video that has full trying to find a video that has full trying to find a video that has full spec detailed comparison of every single spec detailed comparison of every single spec detailed comparison of every single laptop like that this is not the video laptop like that this is not the video laptop like that this is not the video for you who this video is for is if you for you who this video is for is if you for you who this video is for is if you want to know does upgrading MacBook want to know does upgrading MacBook want to know does upgrading MacBook laptops for the use of Final Cut Pro laptops for the use of Final Cut Pro laptops for the use of Final Cut Pro really worth the money and pretty much really worth the money and pretty much really worth the money and pretty much maybe which spec model you would want to maybe which spec model you would want to maybe which spec model you would want to get for that then you want to stick with get for that then you want to stick with get for that then you want to stick with us mainly because we're going to be us mainly because we're going to be us mainly because we're going to be taking the latest version of Final Cut taking the latest version of Final Cut taking the latest version of Final Cut Pro on each computer that's possibly out Pro on each computer that's possibly out Pro on each computer that's possibly out right now and and then we're going to be right now and and then we're going to be right now and and then we're going to be using an app called Chrono X to export using an app called Chrono X to export using an app called Chrono X to export those projects and then time them and those projects and then time them and those projects and then time them and figure out how that really goes okay so figure out how that really goes okay so figure out how that really goes okay so we did purchase all these lot Toops we did purchase all these lot Toops we did purchase all these lot Toops their own monies we did purchase the app their own monies we did purchase the app their own monies we did purchase the app uh all this stuff we did edit all these uh all this stuff we did edit all these uh all this stuff we did edit all these videos and stuff like that so none of videos and stuff like that so none of videos and stuff like that so none of this video sponsored nobody gave it to this video sponsored nobody gave it to this video sponsored nobody gave it to us this is just for our own us this is just for our own us this is just for our own understanding and hopefully it helps you understanding and hopefully it helps you understanding and hopefully it helps you out in case you did want to know okay so out in case you did want to know okay so out in case you did want to know okay so with that being said I'm going to go with that being said I'm going to go with that being said I'm going to go ahead and say all the footage that's ahead and say all the footage that's ahead and say all the footage that's edited on these uh Final Cut projects edited on these uh Final Cut projects edited on these uh Final Cut projects are exactly the same CU it's the same are exactly the same CU it's the same are exactly the same CU it's the same project is copied into all the laptops project is copied into all the laptops project is copied into all the laptops and they were all recorded on an iPhone and they were all recorded on an iPhone and they were all recorded on an iPhone 12 Mini at 4K at 60 HZ okay so uh if 12 Mini at 4K at 60 HZ okay so uh if 12 Mini at 4K at 60 HZ okay so uh if that's what the rare footage is we'll that's what the rare footage is we'll that's what the rare footage is we'll eventually just throw up a graph and we eventually just throw up a graph and we eventually just throw up a graph and we can talk about the results at the end can talk about the results at the end can talk about the results at the end but the laptops we're going to be but the laptops we're going to be but the laptops we're going to be comparing is the M1 Max right I think it comparing is the M1 Max right I think it comparing is the M1 Max right I think it has like 64 gigs of rams and all that has like 64 gigs of rams and all that has like 64 gigs of rams and all that kind of fun stuff and then the M2 Pro kind of fun stuff and then the M2 Pro kind of fun stuff and then the M2 Pro and the M2 Max and then we're going to and the M2 Max and then we're going to and the M2 Max and then we're going to figure out how does that really work and figure out how does that really work and figure out how does that really work and then we're going to be taking a then we're going to be taking a then we're going to be taking a comparison to an Intel i7 2016 based comparison to an Intel i7 2016 based comparison to an Intel i7 2016 based laptop uh to figure out you know how laptop uh to figure out you know how laptop uh to figure out you know how much of a leap and performance was much of a leap and performance was much of a leap and performance was gained by moving to these newer laptops gained by moving to these newer laptops gained by moving to these newer laptops right or if it was gained at all right right or if it was gained at all right right or if it was gained at all right personally speaking I think it was personally speaking I think it was personally speaking I think it was because I can feel the performance uh in because I can feel the performance uh in because I can feel the performance uh in just every day using the computer just every day using the computer just every day using the computer whatnot and editing especially it's huge whatnot and editing especially it's huge whatnot and editing especially it's huge difference so but we don't know the difference so but we don't know the difference so but we don't know the numbers right so that's what we're here numbers right so that's what we're here numbers right so that's what we're here to find out so if that's what you want to find out so if that's what you want to find out so if that's what you want to know stick with to know stick with to know stick with us mus music all right so what you guys just saw was all right so what you guys just saw was all right so what you guys just saw was the same Final Cut project being copied the same Final Cut project being copied the same Final Cut project being copied to all the machines and then we used you to all the machines and then we used you to all the machines and then we used you know after everything's been background know after everything's been background know after everything's been background rendered and that kind of fun stuff we rendered and that kind of fun stuff we rendered and that kind of fun stuff we used Chrono X to do the export of the used Chrono X to do the export of the used Chrono X to do the export of the projects all right so the data that projects all right so the data that projects all right so the data that we're looking at here is purely just the we're looking at here is purely just the we're looking at here is purely just the export time of the projects and the export time of the projects and the export time of the projects and the footage we used was uh footage that we footage we used was uh footage that we footage we used was uh footage that we we were editing for another video but it we were editing for another video but it we were editing for another video but it was shot on iPhone 12 mini 4K 60 HZ okay was shot on iPhone 12 mini 4K 60 HZ okay was shot on iPhone 12 mini 4K 60 HZ okay so let's go ahead and take a look the so let's go ahead and take a look the so let's go ahead and take a look the first machine we ran it on was the M1 first machine we ran it on was the M1 first machine we ran it on was the M1 Max uh this machine is a performance cor Max uh this machine is a performance cor Max uh this machine is a performance cor two efficiency cores but 32 GPU cores two efficiency cores but 32 GPU cores two efficiency cores but 32 GPU cores okay 16 cores of the neural engine and okay 16 cores of the neural engine and okay 16 cores of the neural engine and we used the latest version of the OS we used the latest version of the OS we used the latest version of the OS available for each machine and also the available for each machine and also the available for each machine and also the latest version of Final Cut available latest version of Final Cut available latest version of Final Cut available for each machine okay so the first run for each machine okay so the first run for each machine okay so the first run took 5. 15 second or 5. 15 minutes the took 5. 15 second or 5. 15 minutes the took 5. 15 second or 5. 15 minutes the second run took 5. 1 minutes averaging second run took 5. 1 minutes averaging second run took 5. 1 minutes averaging 5. 12 right then moving on to the M2 5. 12 right then moving on to the M2 5. 12 right then moving on to the M2 machines let's look at the M2 Pro first machines let's look at the M2 Pro first machines let's look at the M2 Pro first uh this one is also running 144 and 1071 uh this one is also running 144 and 1071 uh this one is also running 144 and 1071 for Final Cut eight eight performance for Final Cut eight eight performance for Final Cut eight eight performance core four efficiency cores so that's two core four efficiency cores so that's two core four efficiency cores so that's two additional efficiency cores but this additional efficiency cores but this additional efficiency cores but this machine only has 19 GPU cores all right machine only has 19 GPU cores all right machine only has 19 GPU cores all right uh it also 16 just gigs of memory so not uh it also 16 just gigs of memory so not uh it also 16 just gigs of memory so not complete apples apples but you know complete apples apples but you know complete apples apples but you know let's go take a look uh the first run let's go take a look uh the first run let's go take a look uh the first run 2. 31 minutes second one 2. 3 minutes 2. 31 minutes second one 2. 3 minutes 2. 31 minutes second one 2. 3 minutes averaging 2305 minutes all right uh so averaging 2305 minutes all right uh so averaging 2305 minutes all right uh so that's almost 100% Improvement or 50% that's almost 100% Improvement or 50% that's almost 100% Improvement or 50% Improvement depending on which way Improvement depending on which way Improvement depending on which way you're looking at the numbers but it's you're looking at the numbers but it's you're looking at the numbers but it's you know over two times faster than than you know over two times faster than than you know over two times faster than than the M1 Max all right so looking at the the M1 Max all right so looking at the the M1 Max all right so looking at the M2 Max let's go take a look at that uh M2 Max let's go take a look at that uh M2 Max let's go take a look at that uh the main difference here is that this the main difference here is that this the main difference here is that this has 38 GPU cores at 96 gigs of memory on has 38 GPU cores at 96 gigs of memory on has 38 GPU cores at 96 gigs of memory on this machine so the first run uh 2. 13 this machine so the first run uh 2. 13 this machine so the first run uh 2. 13 minutes the second run minutes the second run minutes the second run 2. 21 minutes all right so averaging the 2. 21 minutes all right so averaging the 2. 21 minutes all right so averaging the two took 2. 1 minutes this machine and or two took 2. 1 minutes this machine and or two took 2.
