How can an iMac with M1 chip load blender this fast!‽ My Gaming PC takes ages to load blender

That's what you get when you don't hog down a computer with at least two competing virus scanners while trying to load Blender from a magnetic HDD.

Yep agree with @Fast-Nop it loads super fast on my PC with Linux. Think IO is the bottleneck here not raw CPU

@prodigy214 😂 is it they can’t run it or they won’t run it

Loads almost equally or even slightly faster on my Linux machine with 5400RPM HDD

Cache, I suppose.

Hum... That's not a question as important as... Can it run Doom?

@prodigy214 if you are used to blender on Windows 🪟, don’t try changing to Mac just for the speed. All the navigation changes are not worth it. I still have no idea how to delete an object on the Mac version

@adamjkeith literally took a few seconds to search on the internet it’s command backspace to delete an object 🤦‍♂️

@adamjkeith x, enter doesn't work?

@JsonBoa You might want to educate yourself on some timelines - on particular of COBOL, x86, and even the age of ARM.

The one thing you're conveniently leaving out is which of these chips has the 5nm TSMC goodness, and that doesn't have to do shit with the architecture.

@JsonBoa you obviously don't know what you are taking about. Buyers validation is fine but if you want to come here and talk CPU architecture than you better know the difference between microcode, assembly and a high level programming language.

So while it is true that the microcode of modern CISC has to account for backwards compatible instructions and that prevents some prediction magic this has nothing to do with the nonsense you just put out there.
