Does not use them well in the sense that it does not use them well, as stated by people knowledgeable about this sharing that info with actual results to back up what they say. That is what attracted me to the M2 Mac Mini because all iterations of that model have more than 4 primary cores which is more than the m4, but a knowledgeable person here suggested that the performance cores of the m4 are much much faster than the m2's negating that advantage. I suggest that the buy more option happens more with Mac Mini's because who wants to be stuck w. a machine that doesn't have enough ram. That's one good thing about Windows machines (especially workstations) because you can very easily just buy more ram and storage and such and easily slam it in there
As I;ve stated all along, I do not want another Windows machine for a number of reasons and getting Linux to work with the vst's I use is not tenable, so that seems to leave MAC Mini <for me>..what remains to be determined is which one and there is no way to tell until the m5 emerges on the Mac Mini. I do need some decent resources because amp sims seem to use a lot of resources as do certain other plugins. My old workstation is well obsoleted and I would be foolish to throw a bunch of money at a Windows machine..given everything going on.very likely I;ll just go with a base m5 new and that should serve me well for a number of years
