Is there a some way to monitor the usage of the media engine in the M1 Max?
I have both a 16" M1 Max/32c GPU/64GB RAM and a 7,1 Mac Pro/16 core/Pro Vega 2 GPU/96GB RAM. I just tried transcoding a 13 minute file using Compressor with both machines to get a sense of the media engines encode acceleration. 4K, 10-bit, 4:2:2 MXF to 4K ProRes 422.
The Mac Pro finished in 4:13 while the M1X Max finished in 7:53.
I'm curious as to how much of the engine is being used ultimately.
