Altium on Mac Benchmark

irw , 02-03-2024, 01:04 PM
I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade my Mac or not... Can anyone running Altium inside Parallels try to repour all polygons ("t"+"g"+"a") on the Router Turris 1.1 (RTRS02) project which you can find it at: https://project.turris.cz/en/hardware-documentation.html (3rd link from the bottom). I choosed this project because it is somehow complex. On my setup it takes approx. 52s (Regular M1 (6c 8GB RAM assigned to the virtual machine)). I'm particularly interested in M2/M3 Max configurations. Thanks in advance. Diogo

I am also curious to know how people run Altium on Mac and how fast it is

On the newer arm based chips the only really way to run it is with parallels... it kind of works for smaller boards, where larger designs are laggier.
