            DrakeX, 19 Oct 2021Photoshop doesn't require GPU, it's mostly CPU an... morePhoto editing apps like Adobe LR are mainly CPU-bound but some special filters and effects often utilize GPU resources. Most drawing apps, on the other hand, including Adobe PS, Medibang, Krita and Sketchbook heavily rely on a device's graphic performance.

Lightroom, same as Photoshop. Premier Pro and Final Cut Pro does have an improvement with a GPU. AutoCAD also utilises GPU but only for 3D work.

                        Cheaper hardware for artists etc, and visual studio + other dev tools. Xcode is pretty poor in comparison, which I also have to use. :(.

And besides, we've seen their performance in regular M1. Even if they are making it all up it's still spectacular performance.

                            So to have an 14" 16" with a power of dGpu 3070/3080 that draws just 60W while windows laptops needs 120W...its just mindblowing

                                I love how Apple is using super-vague-over-generalised terms to describe the things it is comparing its M1 chips tu.

The vanilla M1 is already incredible, so you'll only see differences in very intensive tasks such as editing multiple streams of 4/8K video and such. I think the M1 Pro with 10 & 16 cores is the sweet spot for this machine
