Wondering how fast your computer is compared to the latest Apple silicon Mac desktops? We have the answers! Larry Jordan spent over a month testing the new M2 Mac Studio and M2 Mac mini computers, along with Intel Macs from 2017 and 2018. In this webinar, he presents the results of these tests explaining just “how fast is fast” when comparing today’s systems with those over the last ten years.

This detailed analysis includes over two dozen tables and charts in easy-to-read format to help you get the best performance from your current system – or one you are thinking about buying.

In addition, Larry goes into depth explaining what RAIDs are, the differences between HDD and SDD RAIDs, how to determine their speed and capacity and how to decide which RAID is best for your editing system.

This session covers:

• Explaining RAIDs
• Measuring System Performance
• Thunderbolt Speed Limit
• Pick the Right System for You
• Apple Final Cut Pro Performance Results
• Adobe Premiere Pro Performance Results
• Audience Questions
• Summary

If you are wondering whether Apple’s latest computers will make a difference in your editing, this session tells you all you need to know.
