I guess so.

Example: https://www.khronos.org/opengl/wiki/Default_Framebuffer#Double_buffering

EDIT: Wait. Do you have framebuffer at all? Because from sounds of it, you might not even have it at all. If you don't store entire frame in RAM, then you don't have framebuffer, not just backbuffer.

The M1 is fast enough that ffmpeg can re-encode raw video footage from a high end camera (talking file sizes in the 10s of gigabyte range) an order of magnitude faster than realtime.

Depending on codec and settings, this might be super fast and super slow.

Macbook Pros aren't really consumer grade hardware.

They are even below that.

I don't think anyone anywhere is claiming 8GB RAM is enough for software development

I do. GCC doesn't need much. Vim/emacs work fine with 128 MB of RAM. With 1 GB you can run KDE and QtCreator instead of vim.

4k rendering or 4k textures?

KMSDRM is in terminal enough for me. Fbcon too.

EDIT: obviously not dummy terminal over UART or like that.

And latency is more shit than it ever was

And it's not on Linux! Wow. Sounds so horrible.

If they wanted it to be as cheap as possible, they could have installed Linux on it.

And worst part: they installed Windows on it.

Didn’t stop people constantly “tHe aRchITecTuRE iS cOmPlETelY diFFeRenT!!!”

Different Turing Machine on different math and alternative physics.

I bought a top spec 16GB M1 Mac Air on launch

My condolences.

NXP, fancy. I expected ST, AVR, nRF, WCH or some chinese cheaptroller.

Why them? Something to do with NFC?

Man, microcontrollers are namegivers of SoC.

I've never seen backbuffer called shadow copy.

To be fair there are only two reasons I hate it:

  1. People incorrectly use term UMA
  2. It's crApple

On Linux if you don't compile rust or firefox 8GB is fine. 4 is fine too.
