Bad render performance with Apple M4 processor

I am using now an Apple Mac mini with an M4 processor. Despite the single core performance of an Apple M4 processor is 4 times higher than my old windows notebook with an i5-8250U processor, the render performance is just 15% faster.

In addition, starting Fusion on the Mac mini takes over 75 seconds! That's 4 times as long as on the ancient Windows notebook.

It's a little bit disappointing. Is Fusion already fully adapted to the M4 processor?

Hi @info2ABBW thanks for reporting! 
A few of things that need your help to provide so we can understand the cases better:

  1. For the render performance on your Mac Mini, are you using local render or cloud render? Which Mac series are you running with? M4 Max or M4 Pro. 
  2. For the starting Fusion on the Mac mini takes over 75 seconds, can you reproduce the startup slowness each time? If yes, we want your help to record some performance data and report it to us. I will send you a private message on how to capture the data. 

Thanks for your help and support! 

 

Regards,

Lisa
