Graphics performance tests have suggested the M1 chip offers performance that exceeds the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and Radeon RX 560. We’re also waiting on the higher-end 13" MBP models(which will likely bump to 14" for the next gen), but to date Apple has only offered integrated graphics in the 13" models.\ĮTA: Apple claims that the M1 has the fastest integrated graphics available. (Their irrevocably broken Nvidia relationship precludes any GeForce RTX options). What we don’t yet know is whether the GPU will be from Apple (most likely) or if they will continue with AMD. The expectation is that when the 16" MBP is next upgraded, it will be available with a new M1x or M2 chip with discrete graphics.

The current 16" Macbook Pro model hasn’t been upgraded to Apple Silicon yet and is still running an Intel CPU with various flavors of AMD Radeon Pro GPU’s.

The current M1 Mac models are the Mac Mini, Air and 13" MacBook Pro. So as I understood ( sorry English is not my native language ) actual MBPs do have a M1 processor but next MBPs suppose to have integrated GPUs and other nice goodies as above… There are a couple ways to look at this, either hold out for the M1 MBP which is surely on the way, and take a chance to own your own rocket ship, or wait for the glut of perfectly good high end intel based MBP’s that get dumped on the used marked once the M1 drops and all the kids run to the apple store for the latest thing. By all accounts the M1 even running rosetta 2 is blisteringly fast and once SketchUp is ported to M1 (fingers crossed) it looks like it will be the fastest system to own on the planet short of deep blue. Vram, get as much as you can afford, minimum 2gb?Īs far as what to choose things are a bit up in the air now with the release of the M1 chip.

The good news is that most new MBPs have strong discrete cards (I think some older 13" did not so watch out if you’re goin used), Apples choices are often not the most powerful in the world like some pc gaming laptops, but are tried and true and they tend not to have the constant driver updates that plague the windows systems. You need a good quality discrete GPU (not integrated card). For instance some low end macbook airs only the integrated graphics card struggle to run it at all. SketchUp lives and dies by the graphics card. Again, not upgradable, so go big, 1tb min? Solid state drives are becoming the standard and accesses info much quicker than spinning plates. Obviously a 100 or 200 gb file is bigger than your ram can hold, so the processor is constantly writing and reading from the harddrive to load and work with bigger files. Hard Drive speed is important for loading and working on big models. If I were buying today i would go minimum 32. In Mac you get one chance to decide as it is not upgradable, so go big from the beginning. Ram is good, 16 is workable, 32 or 64 is better. Get the fastest clock speed you can afford. With turbo boost macs can overclock and run faster but as the processor heats up they throttle back down, especially in laptops. GIven that SketchUp is running on one core the main factors effecting lag are: clock speed, ram, hard drive speed, and graphic card.Ĭlock speed is the basic speed limit of any given processor, the faster the better. So the number of cores is irrelevant, it still matters for other programs and for doing things on the side while SketchUp is running.
SketchUp (like all CAD programs) only runs on a single processor, it does not (cannot) multithread.
