I would love to see any Coronarender benchmarks with the news Mac's M4.

Test done when I got a Mac Studio 20 M1 cores comparing to my old iMac 4 Intel cores I noticed that render times improved by mostly just by about core count.

Maybe the new 14 or 16 cores M4 would still be slower than the Mac Studio M1 with 6 to 4 cores more. The M4 single core speed is impressive and maybe we get a lot faster scene parsing and times to first pixel

hi, I have a new M4 Pro Mac mini. It renders almost as fast as my M1 Studio Ultra, here's the cinebench results

I don't like hearing "almost as fast as my M1 Studio Ultra." I know it's "Ultra", but three chips later should not be a competition at all.

Any chance you do my favorite old-school test, Grapes render test? That scene is in the browser. Just pure CPU rendering. Open, Render to Picture Viewer. Post render time. These new benchmarks are difficult to decipher for my brain. ha

Thanks Petreu,
53.2(14x3.8) is indeed almost as fast as 60(20x3) for the M1 Ultra. CPU rendering is basically only about processor speed and core count.

M4 pro is about half the price of an M1 ultra. But the 128Gb is an advantage. I have a M1 Ultra 128Gb. Good to know I am not better off with the new M4 pro.

The single core numbers for the M4 are really impressive, basically 1,5 times faster than anything released before. That must make a big difference in render to first pixel.
I also see that the M1 and M4 are faster than a 64T thread ripper. Makes me wonder what these numbers really mean.

I'm not sure whether I'm looking at the wrong M4 numbers but just to offer an observation... a last gen 5995wx (64c/128t) scores roughy 4300 points in CB2024, 7970x (32c/64t) isn't that far behind it either.
