Which new M1 Mac... vs my 2013 MP Trashcan?


Recommended Posts

I'm just starting to research this, so if there are any great articles/reads to point me to I'd appreciate it!

 

It seems my issue is single cores are starting to choke at the worst times (during vocal sessions etc) ... i suppose since I’m using newer plugins here & there (that's all that has changed) and they grab more CPU. So it's almost time to upgrade my 2013 MacPro trashcan 6 core… even though the other 11 threads are barely at 15% with hundreds of plugins right up until mixdown. The new $6k MP is probably overkill & too pricey. So do I go for the highest single core benchmark I can find? It looks like all the M1 Macs smoke even my MP. Has anyone here gone from a MP to a M1 mini or iMac? Thanks!

When you up the specs, the only game in town is Apple when you order, and Apple wants your first-born as payment. My BTO M1 mini in my sig (16gb RAM, 1TB storage) came to €1608 with Applecare, so the price jumps quickly. I will be interested to see what the next mini will cost for the same config compared to my M1.
