M1 Mac mini vs 2019 i9 iMac

[MacModMachine]

This tells me nothing. There's no controlled test here and I see no data to compare.

That said please provide the requested information. I provided technical information, I expect you to do the same if you are going to dispute it.

lol , you copied and pasted stuff you found on the web. anyone can do that.

if you think im going to do a bunch of tests to show you information , your crazy. how about you show me test proving im wrong....oh wait.

good luck

I did not such thing. But if you found similar information on the Internet then perhaps you should pay attention to it.

As for showing you a test proving you're wrong I need do no such thing. You haven't shown anything to prove you're right. All I see from you is a test of the M1 Mini loading applications and the memory consumed from doing so. I see nothing showing the same for an Intel system. IOW I have no Intel reference. Until I do you've proven nothing.

It appears the M1 uses more memory than Intel based systems. Performing the same test on my 2012 base Mac Mini I performed the same test. While loading took longer (as expected) memory consumption is almost half of the M1 "benchmark" you provided:

So much for the vaunted ARM memory advantage. Intel clearly wins.

all the things you listed you do , and have done around arm. your giving me a screenshot of usage....how about a top so i can at least see whats running.

i ran the test again and see over 6g usage....that looks like a bare osx with NOTHING running.

Uh no. I am using the "benchmark" you chose to support your claim. That benchmark was the application usage as given in Activity Monitor after loading all of the default applications after a fresh install of the OS. I saw nothing in the referenced video about top.

I will do you the courtesy of providing an uncropped version of Activity Monitor. The only difference between this pic and the previous one is that I had installed 8GB in the system when this pic was taken whereas the previous one the system only had 4GB.

This is the "benchmark" you elected to provide. I think it's a lousy one but then I didn't decide on it, you did.
