GEEKBENCH MAC M1 PRO PRO

I suspect that perhaps if the OS is run on an external drive and the virtual memory (paging) is pushed solely to the integrated SSD that this might be enough to offset the lower memory availability since the SSD bus is so wide. According to the Geekbench scores I should see a considerable improvement, but I fear that even with all of this additional bus availability it might not be enough to make up for such a lack of RAM. I've come to the conclusion that the bus of the 2010 motherboard is always saturated - it's just not able to handle the IO and context switching requirements quickly enough at this point.

At this point, even with 128 GB of RAM, my system teeters like it's on its last leg with handling 20+ apps that I regularly have open + usually 10-15 shells in iTerm with tasks running.

In my particular case I have heavy multitasking requirements and have been stuck with a maxed out 2010 Mac Pro for quite some time. MacBook Pro (13-inch Reina Late 2013): Single-Core: 642 :: Multi-Core: 1,389ДЇrom what Geekbench is telling us the M1 Macs should probably perform rather solidly better than the aforementioned Macs in Logic Pro X.ДЄnyone else with stories or experiences that can further elucidate the real world speed of M1 systems compared to other Macs? In looking at Geekbench scores I thought I'd compare and contrast some of the results and ask if others who are using the M1 and have access to comparable have any experiences you might share: I was kind of surprised to see this because of the general Geekbench scores (granted these are not 'real world' usage). According to some discussion ( ) I'm hearing reported that the Mac Mini M1 outperforms the i9 8 core MBP and is maybe slightly slower than the 12 core Mac Pro 2013 in Logic Pro X operations.
