M1 vs i9 Intel performance / memory requirements - Zorro - 2022-01-28
Hi all,
Has anyone had much experience on the performance difference between the M1 and Intel chips os on OS X (I am especially thinking re my i9 16" MacBook Pro 5500) and also the memory requirements:
I have heard it said that a 16GB M1 is more equivalent 32GB on an Intel machine. Presumably LR Timelapse is the perfect tool for putting that to the test.
I ask as I need to replace my i9 sooner rather than later and I am trying to get the right balance between RAM/SSD/CPUGPU and I wonder if 16GB works (and I can then get a bigger SSD or CPU) and given that Macs don't have replaceable parts...
Cheers,

If it's only for LRT and your sequences have "normal" size, 16GB of Ram is plenty.
The M1 are much faster than the Intel Macs.
