When will Apple drop macOS support for M1 systems?
WEBMar 13, 2023. #12. Think of it as a curve: 100-90% chance of 5 years of support (so 2025 at the minimum) 90-50% chance of 7 years of support (so 2027) 50% or less of 10 years of support (so 2030) An M1 mac will last you a long time in any case. Jwinnin, golfstud, Tagbert and 2 others.

WEBSep 15, 2021. #2. I was thinking along the same lines for my home server; a refurbed base M1 Mini (8GB/256GB) with a 2TB SSD SATA hanging off the USB 4 ports in an enclosure. All in about $900 ($589 + $200 for the SSD + tax). My 2012 is getting a little long in the tooth and I'm going to want to upgrade some time.

Mac mini M1 and TV, a good or bad idea? - MacRumors Forums

You can do crazy fast (180-220 fps) hardware encoding via VideoToolbox for HD content (x264/265) but the file size and quality is sub optimal.

I imagine Chrome calls VideoToolbox, so it should be architecture independent. Although, YouTube on iOS with an A14 does smoothly decode 4K VP9, so I'm assuming it's Chrome related. Safari …
