I’m pretty sure about it because it’s the way to go.
I’ve tested a set of images on a 2019 iMac and a 2020 M1 MacBook Air.
Here are the figures for the export of 60 images (identically set on both Macs) to 16bit TIFF:
- iMac: 140s
- MBA: 186s
iMac spec.: 27in 8 core 3.6 GHz i9, Radeon Pro 580X 8GB, 40 GB RAM, 2TB SSD
MBA spec.: 13in 8 core CPU, 8 core GPU, 16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD
Please note that DPL4.1.1 is not yet made for M1 and had to run using Rosetta 2.
Times above with HQ noise reduction. With DeepPrime, I get 6 minutes and 15 minutes respectively.
