Mando May 2, 2022 at 10:02 PM This is an interesting revelation to me. I had been under the impression that the M1 had better performance in multi-thread, not only a single thread. This discovery makes the M1 option much less appealing than the AMD chip considering the RAM is upgradable on the AMD set, but not on the M1 machine. +27 Reply Mike November 9, 2021 at 02:53 AM What sort of fanboy do you have to be to read the performance specs and pick the AMD chip? Smh +49 Reply Name November 13, 2021 at 10:54 AM The one that wants to use their computer more than two years and don't want to place triple for upgrade. +22 Reply ok lol January 14, 2022 at 09:46 AM Name, what computer can't you use for more than 5 years unless you throw it? +19 Reply Alex March 4, 2022 at 07:34 AM ok lol, The RAM in my MacBook pro died a year too. Replaced it in 10 minutes. If your RAM dies in an M1 system, you're buying a new computer. +8 Reply Robmac June 8, 2022 at 03:16 AM What is the rice difference between these AMD and M1? +17 Reply joe October 1, 2021 at 02:25 PM the m1 is actually really good. it is worth getting a base model macbook air now finally. +51 Reply Name Message Send Send Comparisons
