when processing out TIFFs it's utilizing both the GPU (render) and the CPU (pack/compress) in the process whereas when processing JPEGs, it's only using the CPU. During an interview with Capture One a few weeks back, I had the benefit of asking how C1 uses a machine's "power" and it seems to differ for different tasks. Then, the followup to that is, "How will capture one utilize this new processing power?". I'm guessing it will be a bit different than modern, Intel processors. How do the new M1 SoC processors will utilize CPU/GPU/RAM. I think the real question that needs answering (and if it has, by all means school me) is this: The Max is probably overkill for all but the most demanding applications. Reports are that C1 runs well on the M1, and they are developing a release for the M1 iPad, so the base M1 is a reasonable choice the Pro will probably meet the needs of most people for a number of years. The Max (or my core i9 / 5500M) are really useful for heavy video work, or gaming (maybe). I can’t use it in my lap for too long before I’m uncomfortably hot, even using a lap desk. It’s also not a laptop - it just gets too hot, even running low demand software. It runs C1 nicely, but I think it would run just as well on 32 GB and, knowing what I know now, I wouldn’t have spent the extra money for 64, or the 5500M. I am currently running a 2019 MacBook Pro core i9 with 64 GB of RAM and AMD Radeon Pro 5500M. I think that they said that it was coming at a later release (but, my memory isn’t always reliable). I don’t know if C1 implemented Metal in 21. Many programs make use of the graphics cores when coded using Metal. There may be a performance difference between the Pro and Max, but I doubt that it would be very noticeable while using Capture One, if at all. But, since you asked, here is my two cents: Well, you have asked this before anyone could possibly have any real world experience with the new Macs.
