Last year Apple proved that it could develop competitive, high-end CPU cores for a laptop now they are taking their same shot on the GPU side of matters.ĭriving this has been one of the biggest needs for Apple – and one of the greatest friction points between Apple and former partner Intel – which is GPU performance. While Apple doesn’t break down how much of their massive, 57 billion transistor budget on the M1 Max went to the GPU, it and its associated hardware were the only thing to be quadrupled versus the original M1 SoC. We have no plans to stop support for Apple devices with Intel processors.Section by Ryan Smith GPU Performance: 2-4x For Productivity, Mixed GamingĪrguably the star of the show for Apple’s latest Mac SoCs is the GPU, as well as the significant resources that go into feeding it. Will KeyShot continue to support Apple devices with Intel processors? KeyVR is Windows only and is unaffected by Apple silicon native development.Īt this time Sketchup and Cinema 4D plugins will be available, with other CAD plugins slated to be released through out the year as the Arm support moves away from Beta. What about KeyShotWeb, KeyVR and Network Rendering?Īll features in KeyShot will work with the new support for Apple silicon, while Mac Network Rendering will still use the Intel platform until the release of 11.3. Using KeyShot11-arm64-BETA will use the M1 chip Natively without the emulator for faster computing of your scene. using the application KeyShot 11 will give you access to KeyShot using the Intel emulator, using KeyShot

inside your Application folder you will see two KeyShot Applications ( KeyShot11 and KeyShot11-arm64-BETA ).

The installation will be the same as before with a complete package installer for Mac.
