5x faster than any intel machine. brutal power.

It will be in my radar in future, this year i think i will just stuck with PC, in addition i am building all AMD computers, no Intel.
Also, in that PI benchmark, i don't see Mac M4 system among the systems tested.
I don’t use PI, but Siril and Astropixel Processor with M4.
Same projects data sets (lights/callibration frames) with Siril at M4 vs Siril at i7 = 5x shorter pre-processing times.

I also use Astropixel Processor [APP] next to PI, so maybe in future if i will buy Mac M4 i will use it more often, i am not much stuck to a brand really, i do have so many old Mac computers [two Mac Mini and two MacBook Pro], but sounds for the last 6-10 years i more use Windows than Mac.
I think i will move to Siril because Photoshop is no longer accessible for me with their greedy subscription, i still think about Afinity really, but sounds that Siril is more favorable in astro community.
I think you will find Siril and Affinity Photo together is a very powerful combination. They both do very different jobs.
