Interesting! I just tested TensorFlow on my new MacBook Pro with M1. Very promising! Recently, I realized that my computer is getting old. I bought a MacBook Pro in 2018. I guess this computer was the one in my life that did the most Data Science of my local machines. The hard drive is a little small, thus a new Mac would be in order. I bought a MacBook Pro M1 13 inch as a successor. Before doing anything else I installed TensorFlow and ran simple from-scratch-benchmark on both machines. The results are in the picture. What do you think?
Looks interesting. Can you share the code for testing? I just recently bought laptop with ryzen cpu, just wanted to compare m1 with amd
How about training GRUs?
This is without nvidia? on that M1 CPU? What's the secret? How many cores does that M1 CPU have?
The speedup on LSTMs is interesting. Is it because CNN and FC are more memory intensive and the speed of the M1 improved more on the CPU than on memory?
Very nice test, Dr. Behrens. Thanks for sharing.
MBP 2018 CPU vs M1 GPU ? (check Besart Jacoupeau)
Awesome!! 8gb RAM or 16gb RAM?
Any problems running Python? Although I guess that’s more of an issue of Big Sur than the hardware.

4yNice testing! It is useful to be able to compare the performance of 2 machines side-by-side like this
