Hello,
there is something I still do not quite understand. In the old benchmark, the MacPro 2019 (Xeon W-3275M 2.50GHz) achieves 12,178,400 rays. The MacStudio M1 ultra achieves 6,780,610 rays in the old benchmark. It is only half as fast as the MacPro.
In the new benchmark, the MacStudio M2 ultra achieves 11,029,942 rays (see page 2 in this thread). The MacStudio M1 Max achieves 4,753,992 in the new benchmark. The M1 ultra would be twice as fast (i.e. approx. 9,500,000).
Unfortunately there is no MacPro 2019 result for the new benchmark. How fast would it be. Would it also have 12,178,400 rays? If so, that would be about 10% faster than the M2 ultra.
I am considering buying an M2 ultra. But a MacPro 2019 Xeon W3275 would also be a good alternative. E.g. you could alternatively render on this machine with AMD cards redshift GPU.
Have I classified and estimated the benchmark results correctly?
Many greetings, Wolfgang
