Hi @MikeTO, I find this benchmark very interesting, but I wonder if you should propose another one concerning...

…THE LOADING TIMES of the three software (v. 2.5.5) (and on macOS, my preferred platform)?…

I changed my Mac some time ago and I can't understand why the Affinity suite software takes so long to load!… I sometimes wait 30 seconds to get to the software. For testing, I also cut all communications with the Serif servers using LittleSnitch, but nothing works, I still have loading times that are far too long. It's becoming very irritating, even unbearable.

QUESTION: What are the development teams working on at Serif?…

PS: Pixelmator Pro loads in 1 seconds!… 🙃

Hi guys!

One question: WHERE IS MY BENCHMARK? 🙃

(AP2 v. 2.5.5)

In the Help menu, but only with No Document/Image Open (to make sure that does not change the results)

Thanks! No chance of me coming up with this on my own. 🤦‍♂️

(Perhaps it would be a good idea to leave this option active and only on the benchmark screen display an appropriate message that the test is not possible when the document is open)?

I don't understand why your results are so low compared to my M1 Pro (same CPU cores, but only 14 GPU cores. All of my numbers are higher than yours. I reran the benchmark again and got similar results.

I don't quit my other apps, but is it possible a background app was consuming a lot of your cycles?

Ah, I just found this thread again and saw there are no IPad Pro M2 results - here are mine:

Thank you Mike for your continuous vigilance.  

I did the test with all apps closed but without rebooting, though Activity Monitor showed that the Mac was quite idle.
Today, I tried again after a clean reboot and a wait of a dozen of minutes, until the Activity Monitor shows that all Spotlight-indexing related processes (mds and so on) are finished and all cores calmed down. No way, same results. 

Finally, I realised that I did these tests when on Battery and with Energy Economy option turned on. Thus I put the charger on, changed the system setting and re-ran the test: I finally got this, closer to your results. 

[MikeTO]

@Oufti I didn't think of that, my tests were on battery, too, but the newer versions of macOS default to automatic which doesn't use low power mode unless necessary. I don't recall if Monterey works that way.

Apparently not.
(At least, I don't see any Automatic option. There are only checkboxes "Energy Economy", in both panels Battery and Power Adapter – as can be seen in the screenshot above.)

In newer versions of macOS, the default for "On Battery" is Automatic

I got mail today  and I want to share my results- maybe it is interesting for other people who are on the fence for a M4 jump

This is a result of a MacBook Pro 16" M4 max with 16CPU and 40 GPU Cores - 64GB RAM - total fresh OS setup. The machine feels very very fast in photo, graphic work, CAD and 3D Rendering! (I jumped from a 2016 MacBook Pro)

(edit: I tried a second run in performance mode)

Very similar results from me for what it's worth:

Using 14 inch M4 Max, 16 CPU, 40 GPU, 128GB RAM, 8TB storage (for full disclosure I've already used up 1TB of storage from my last machine, so consider this a real life result rather than an out the box totally fresh install)

Your CPU results are somewhat lower than HugoIII and with a big difference between the two benchmarks for the vector multi CPU score. You might try it again sometime after a reboot because something else might have been going on in the background to cause such a large discrepancy.

I’ll have a play and see if that changes things, but like I said, I’ve moved everything across from my old Mac (incl software), so highly likely that OneDrive and creative cloud and all number of other things will be running in the background which could be tapping resources.
 

The main reason I posted was to show what results could be obtained on a real world laptop full of files and applications etc. If I wiped it I’m sure those numbers would tick up a bit.

Yeah this was the case, I closed them and the results are much more in line:

here is another one after multiple runs:

• Intel i7-8850H 16GB RAM
• Nvidia Quadro Pro P3200 Max-Q Design 6GB VRAM
• Win 11 Pro 23H2

@MikeTO maybe you can put an updated version of the comparison table into your initial post and not somewhere in the middle.

Great minds think alike. I realized that after posting the last update.

I got into the habit of doing it this way in an older benchmark thread which I hadn't started and thus couldn't edit its first post.

Mike,

Bought a new 16" MacBook Pro M4 Max yesterday. I used Migration Assistant to move all my data from my 2017 MBP (Ventura) to the new machine (Sequoia). Hope this is all the info you need for your benchmarking spreadsheet. Thanks for doing this. It helped me decide on what to buy.
