Based on the available data and performance trends, here’s a projected analysis:

Projected Performance Comparison

Mac Studio M4 Max vs Mac Mini M4 Pro

• Adobe Premiere Pro (1-hour ProRes 1080p export):

• Mac Mini M4 Pro: 18 minutes 12 seconds

• Projected Mac Studio M4 Max: ~9 minutes 30 seconds (estimated based on M4 Max performance gains)

After Effects Complex Project Rendering

• Mac Mini M4 Pro: 11 minutes 12 seconds

• Projected Mac Studio M4 Max: ~5 minutes 45 seconds

Performance Gains Over 2010 Mac Pro 5,1

3.46Ghz upgrade 12-core CPU Performance

• The M4 Max would likely deliver:

• 15-20x faster single-core performance

• 8-10x faster multi-core performance in CPU-intensive tasks

• Significantly lower power consumption (60W vs 550W+)

Video Processing

• ProRes encoding:

• Mac Pro 5,1: ~90 minutes for 1-hour timeline

• Mac Studio M4 Max: ~9 minutes (projected)

• Real-time effects processing would be approximately 12-15x faster

Efficiency Improvements

Memory Management

• Despite the Mac Pro 5,1’s 80GB RAM, the M4 Max’s 128GB unified memory provides:

• 273GB/s memory bandwidth

• Significantly faster memory access

• Better resource allocation between CPU and GPU tasks

Storage Performance

• NVMe storage in M4 Max delivers:

• Read speeds up to 7,400MB/s

• Write speeds up to 6,800MB/s

• Compared to SATA SSDs in the Mac Pro 5,1 (max 600MB/s)

The projected Mac Studio M4 Max would represent a generational leap over both the Mac Mini M4 Pro and the 2010 Mac Pro 5,1, particularly in professional video workflows and complex After Effects compositions.

 The unified memory architecture and modern media engines would provide substantially better performance in modern creative applications.

So of JD Vance gets 2 terms, and Don Jr gets a term then Trump might get his way… but he’ll be in his doddery doating 90s by then.

Meanwhile the Hedge Fund Managers will be betting AGAINST it all and making Billion$, including, I’m sure the Trump Family.

^^That, my dear Apple Friends… the real play here.

Rivian gave their production team the TWO EV Prototype 4x4s to travel in as assist vehicles. They travelled up the whole of South America in them.

 Hopefully, if the real thing ever happens, that’ll not be the case in the wild.

This will hit Taiwan and TSMC more than anything, and everyone connected to them, or who buys from them.  Majority of the world’s chips come from them.

This is the first real restriction that now affects everybody in the world, even India with their electronics production. 

China can do this all day long for the rest of the Donald’s tenure. Will be interesting to see if Trump has his own Ace, of which there’ll be very few now.

It will take 3-and-a-half MAGA Presidents’ terms to fully realise his vision.  Don’t think most Americans will accept the hardship past the short term and this year.
