Finally! A developer’s perspective! Thank you so much! I started getting bored of seeing everyone talking about video editing only as the main “pro” functionality. Subscribed!

[lofistudio]

That kind of comparison I was waiting for 😍😍

[royalarmy]

This review is more useful compared to benchmark reviews. Real world usage is what matters most.

[ameetpalsingh]

Thank you, for this video most YouTubers only run cinebench and say that m1 is faster without paying any attention to the developer tools

[MiltonBaltodano]

I thought I would never found a review like this. Superb!!!

[unmilanmukherjee]

Thank you so much for this comparison. Was really needed. Every other reviewer out there simply ran tests on video editing apps and benchmarks and called it a day. Finally a developer’s perspective!

[ananaykaushik]

Finally a review without the boring video editing review . Thank you ❤️

[AjeshDSthegr]

I think we need to modify the tensorflow program a little bit to use the neural engine of the M1 chip.

[TejaKarlapudi]

Thank you! Can you do this video again after all these dev tools are updated to run natively on ARM. Would love to see the difference.

[fozan]

After i saw the quality of the video I decided to subscribe, and i really thought i will find a big number of subscribers a million or so, but 4k and with this quality, u are amazing

Waiting for the new 16 inch Apple Silicon MPB

Im sure this will serve me like 5 years

[NicolasSilvaVasault]

this is THE BEST review i've seen on the new m1 macbooks

[daisycutter]

This was very exciting. Not to mention very informative. I’ll be getting an Air for dev and testing as soon as purchase functions are opened in my region.

[dreamphoenix]

This has been by far the most useful review of the new apple silicon, found anywhere (for dev's)! Thank you.

[NSMetaLpig]

i think this guy is the best reviewer when it comes to developers review, nice one good job!

[romanmaksimov]

Finally. Not just video rendering benchmarks...

[nakulsharma]

This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!
Can you please run tensorflow test with disabled eager execution and then post the results? I heard that might help but haven't seen someone do it yet.

[gabrielkind]

Curious to see these again for Pro/Max now that applications have had some time to optimize for Apple Silicon. Great video, excellent to hear an actual dev's comparison.

[madmotorcyclist]

Enjoyed you putting the new chips through their paces. It will be interesting to see how fast developers migrate over to the new architecture.

[jorgesegundorojas]

that was the BEST performance comparision review that I've seen
