@@akarshrao47 Actually both are. But when you render a video, computer uses gpu more than the cpu. So comparison between two items in term of gpu doesn't give you accurate illustration of build performances as a programmer.
Absolutely MAD respect for revealing the end result early, and giving everyone the option to stick around for the detail. RU-vid needs more producers like you.
Same here. I clicked on the subscribe button the moment I heard him being so frank, and continued to watch whole thing. People who respect your time deserve an equal amount of respect.
Oh my God! Thank you so much for the video! All other reviews on RU-vid compare performance in video editing software. Finally, someone showed an example of building projects. By the way, your English is awesome!
Great videos, also as a developer, it's great seeing this perspective for once and not just video rendering times. I have really been enjoying your videos and like everyone else is saying it's fantastic that you get straight to the point. I still watched it all the way. Keep up the great work.
I’ve got an i9 MBP as my work machine, and then I’ve got a personal M1 MBA too. I have noticed the M1 is quite quick at generating debug builds which is cool, but the passive cooling and long battery life are what really makes the new Air shine.
I compared a xcode project between my old 2012 mbp to the m1 air and it smoked my 2012 mbp. For me, the upgrade from 2012 mbp to M1 air is a no brainer.
@@Macheako yes 8 years old, but it still works fine for mobile app dev. Compared to windows laptops, the MBP has served me well. I usually kill windows laptops within 3 years. Some have died in 18 months.
Interesting side-note on the MBP 2015. I'm still using my Mid-2014. Have used it pretty much every day for development, and it's been an amazing machine.
Agreed. I still have a couple of MBP2015s in use in my dev lab. Amazingly good machine with the Haswell/Crystal Well L4 cache, and only ever had one issue from a bunch of them. That was a battery swelling up and cracking the LCD, but Apple replaced the top case, battery and LCD only last year - long out of warranty. That one now feels and works like a brand new machine again. Still very useable for higher end work.
I subscribed to your channel and liked the video honestly because you started off the video by being a cool dude telling us the result of the test first - most people on YT just clickbait you and make you watch their entire video for one simple piece of information. I salute you
@@bewhee when you are seriously coding for a whole day, you are plugged to a power adapter. If macOS decides to reduce speed because the laptop is on battery, then the benchmark is not as relevant as what I expect for my working environment.
@@stephenschmith8174 They don't throttle down the CPU when it's on battery. macOS is already great at reducing unwanted CPU usage in daily operations as is. You get the same peak CPU and GPU performance on battery on MacBooks as you do plugged in, in fact you may get slightly worse results when plugged in because the battery will get hotter if you're both running heavy tasks on the machine and charging the battery at the same time, raising the internal temps. The internal components will still continue to get their power from the battery instead of the power brick, unless you keep your device plugged in for weeks at a time in which case macOS' battery aging prevention will kick in, it'll keep the charge at 80% and will deliver power directly from the wall brick instead of making it go through the battery.
I have the 2015. Its really a great machine. But i had damage with some fluid and its okay for some normal tasks. I am waiting now for the Mac Mini M1 with 16 GB ^^
@@Ancient0609 I have the 13' version of the 2015 MBP and would like to see some builds on it. I do very lite work on it so I don't really know what this machine is capable of. Would like to get a new M1 but don't want to drop the cash if I don't have too. Thanks again for your content, good stuff.
@@josephhernandez7462 I went from a mid 2014 i5 pro to now a 2021 M1 pro and its quite a difference, if you're just watching RU-vid or doing office work I guess you don't need to On a bad day the M1 is 2-3x faster than the i5 and best case scenario its at least 4x faster because of the 50% ipc improvement and 8 real cores If you're working with bigger Xcode projects or doing any work that would benefit from a gpu that doesn't bog down minimizing a window at 1440p, its worth the upgrade, air or pro both are good choices Don't know if much changed from 2014 to 15 but this is my experience
I also use 2015 MBP (last with “normal” USB ports), and would very much like to know how it will compare to MacBook Air M1. Perhaps time to finally upgrade?😸
for calculating just time of running no bench is needed you can you just shell builtin command time, it is better to see not only time but also temp, iowait, cpu (seperate user and system usage), ram usage while building to see all the picture
Indian shows - And the Head n shoulders, sunsilk, paracetamol, mdh asli masale sach sach award goes to.... This guy - (Even before showing us the footage)The winner is Macbook air.
I like that you told the info I wanted upfront. I ended up watching the whole thing anyway - but that's awesome. Usually youtubers want you to watch the whole thing!
@@toxicityuser My 2015 MBP has an i7 CPU and 16 GB RAM. I'd like to know if it holds up at all, even though I already know it won't beat the later generations.
@John E Wait until the M3, it will be even sicker... No. Wait until the M4, it will be the sickest... NAY, never stop waiting because there will always be a sicker one coming in the future.
I love your honesty and how you tell the outcome right off the bat and only then the video starts. Your content got my Like. Your honesty got my subscrition.
That's good to know. My first and only Apple purchase was the 2015 MBP because it had all the ports, and I wanted to use iMovie. It was refurbished and does the jobs I need it to do just fine.
Thanks for the video! But if I’m not mistaking i9 mbp is running Catalina. So it would be great to compare this machines on the same OS. Maybe the difference would be not so huge.
I am typing this on a 16" MBP with the 9980HK. It's a good machine, but I'm looking forward to replacing it with whatever Apple comes out with later this year. Looks like it'll be pretty powerful.
im using that one up until now for coding and deployment. from your standpoint i can understand that. Agree with it. Now im waiting for my mac mini m1 to arrive at my doorstep. however, theres is still dependency issue on most libraries. Therefore, not recommend to get it for time being if you programmer.
я: хм, этот парень похож на моего соседа Саню, а не русский ли он? Александр: based on this project right here, thanks to DevЕременко я: точно русский)
I have been telling my friends about this from past 5 years. We are running out moor's law 5nm now. But we never spent our time on cpu architecture or software optimization yet. I guess we need close one door to fully devote ourselves into other door. Ram being close to the die does the trick here, M1 can't have configurable memory.
