- mkaic 5y agoLet us know how that goes! I'm getting an M1 Max MBP sometime in the next two weeks and already know the very first thing I install on it after booting is gonna be Blender. It's a rite of passage for any new computer I acquire!
- cevn 5y agoThe computer is an absolute beast, it compiles faster than my old desktop intel cpu and I just have M1 Pro or something..
- barrenko 5y agoOne of the most marvelous hobbies.
- mkaic 5y agoThere are few things more exciting about getting a new computer than getting to test how fast Blender runs on it!
- stevenpetryk 5y agoMake sure you have macOS Monterrey 12.3 beta (the Metal backend requires 12.3 or above).
- Arcanum-XIII 5y agoWorks fine for me on my M1 with 12.2.1.
- sirn 5y agoI've been playing around with it on M1 Max since the Alpha build with great results. Here's some numbers from my latest benchmark run: "Junk Shop" demo using Cycles M1 Max (10 cores CPU / 32 cores GPU) Blender 3.0 (CPU) / 1:14.64 minutes Blender 3.1 (CPU) / 1:10.86 minutes (1.05x) Blender 3.1 (Metal GPU) / 0:44.16 minutes (1.68x) Blender 3.1 (Metal GPU+CPU) / 0:27.90 minutes (2.67x) For a reference, RTX 3090 (OptiX) was 0:18.22
- emadabdulrahim 5y agoUpdate: Initial testing on one of my low poly scenes: v3.1 cycles GPU — 35.5 seconds. v3.0 cycles CPU — 90 seconds. 3.1 with support for Metal and GPU rendering boosted speed by about ~ 3x
