Corona for Apple Silicon M1?

Hi Jojorender
I did not test it any further on my Intel iMac quad core i7.
Coronarender is a cpu renderer so I am not expecting all that much difference with my iMac. I am also not expecting much difference with the new m1 max since they are only 10 core.

The scene I tested it with is a scene with just 3 laubwerk trees scattered with mograph and a random effector. But still I did not expect such a smooth performance on a small laptop without cooling. Even though it run CR all night. I was hoping the process before render was a little faster expecting more feedback in the design process. Maybe redshift is better for that being a gpu renderer. I don't know anybody here who has redshift and coronarender to compare. What was very fast on my m1 macbook air is changing LUT's. That is instant, scrolling the various LUT's. On my iMac its very slow in a way I never looked at all the different LUT's before.

Cheers Francois

I had previously tested a first-gen Mac Mini M1 16 GB and it was significantly faster than my Mac Pro Trashcan, which is significantly faster than our i7 iMacs. This is also running Team Render client and Corona via Rosetta2. I think testing your scene on your old iMac would be eye-opening.

frv:
Depends on the ram usage. My iMac from late 2015 had 32 Gb of ram and uses 4 cores and 8 threads. I can render really big models swapping 30Gb of ram memory. The m1 16Gb runs out of ram quickly and when its swapping memory its falls back on its 4 cores and leaves the efficiency cores out of the render process.

caspian:
I can let you know on Tuesday. Mine was supposed to arrive yesterday… Hopi g for significant improvements from my current off the shelf  2018 MBP

Rutg3r:
Here some fresh results just for rough compare speeds... the oldie run C4DR23 and corona V7.0. Other machines both R25 and V8 daily.
