iPads and Apple’s processors had purpose built processes for video editing. My M1 Air is faster than my 2017 15 inch hexa core and respectably close to my 2070 Super in Handbrake. You can probably get away with an M1 iPad Pro for a LOT of tasks. The T2 in the touch bar chip on my 2017 is faster than the intel processor in some encoding tasks I’ve done.
