so still under Rosetta?

I just tried it on my MacBook Pro M1 max and it was about twice as fast at rendering than my 24 core Mac Pro with NVME! so its a good start

Dang! :flushed: :scream:

Edit: 2019 Mac Pro? I may have to look closer at these units. Too bad I spent 6k on a laptop 4 months ago.

Good news are coming! :slight_smile:

The latest cheese grater one. Just did another test. Hefty batch all sorts going on 4 min 50 on the Mac Pro and 2 mins 30 on the MacBook Pro. The Mac Pro is the latest with 196gb ram and nvme. The MacBook Pro is the M1 max with 64gb ram. Itā€™s super snappy to use too.

Definitely unifying all of the core components has drastically reduced latency when it comes to moving data from, graphics, cpu, and ram. The M1 Max definitely benefits with that broad memory bandwidth

The question now is how it fairs against a good Linux machine :face_with_monocle:

Wow thatā€™s some serious numbers here!
Just received my receipt from Apple and the mac is on its way! (ordered the M1 Max version with 64gigs), canā€™t wait!
Thank you for your benchs and timings :slight_smile:

Time to go shoppingā€¦

Now if I could only get my Promise Pegasus2 to work on the new machine!

31

Iā€™ll keep testing.

Iā€™ve seen some good numbers as well. I ran some batch setups of mine through my 2013 trashcan, an M1 MacBook Air with 16 gigs of ram and a M1 Max MacBook Prowith 64 gigs.

The TLDR is Iā€™ve been fairly happy with my trashcan running Flame, and the MacBook Pro is quite a bit faster.

Setup 1: 2.5k media
5m 20s on the Trashcan
2m 40s on the MBA
1m45s on the MBP

Setup 2: 4.5k media
4m 09s on the Trashcan
8m 32s on the MBA
1m 47s on the MBP

Setup 3: 2.5k media
2m 37s on the Trashcan
3m 09s on the MBA
1m 31s on the MBP

Setup 4: 4.5k media
2m 20s on the Trashcan
1m 42s on the MBA
0m 29s on the MBP

Setup 5: 4.5k media
1m 03s on the Trashcan
1m 01s on the MBA
0m 30s on the MBP

Setup 6: 4.5k media
0m 48s on the Trashcan
0m 51s on the MBA
0m 19s on the MBP

anychance someone with a threadpripper pro will get some render stats going? Mineā€™s not coming in for a few weeks.

34

The benchmark exists. Fill it up.

none of these benchmark things really matter though, basically it feels better than my Mac Pro and its quicker. canā€™t wait for it to be native. just think what could be achieved. You only have to look at how fast resolve is on the M1 max to see that.

Would be interesting to run one of those setups on our i9 / Hackintoch machines.

Downloadable Trial is not 2022.3 yet. Donā€™t try itā€¦

38

Itā€™s very interesting number!

39

But is there an intention to make it native?
Would be amazing, Iā€™m already amazed how well my M1 air handles Blender for exampleā€¦

You mean Alder Lake? The numbers show that those CPUs are no joke, and are faster than M1. That is just the raw computing, and is one part of the equation. The Apple Silicon is unique not so much because the raw computing, but also due to its low latency among multiple components. Once native it will be very telling just the full capabilities of this new architecture. But as is, is rather impressive!

I hope so. Thereā€™s a lot of potential here. My MacBook Pro absolutely blasts through redshift and x particles stuff. And resolve is so fast.
