Our February issue of our free newsletter, INSIDER Xpresso, has been released and inside we have a in-depth performance test comparison between the M1 Mac mini (with Apple Silicon) versus our powerful 2017 iMac Pro. The results are quite stunning and interesting.

CAD and 3D Tested

Our in-depth feature goes through numerous benchmark suites testing both the CPU and the GPU, including specific GPU benchmarks applicable to pro applications like 2/3D CAD, BIM and 3D modeling and rendering programs.

Mac mini vs iMac Pro

Architosh has conducted an in-depth performance analysis (shoot-out) between the Apple Silicon-based Mac mini vs a powerful iMac Pro machine.

In addition to benchmarks, we have tested both machines against test files in SketchUp and Vectorworks Architect (two tools still in Rosetta mode only on the M1 Mac mini). Despite not having a native application available where we have well-developed test files, the M1-based Mac mini more than held its own against the far more expensive iMac Pro (2017).

We also include an in-depth analysis and discuss on ARM microarchitecture advantages over X86.
