jddrews Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I'd be curious as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, I got a Mac mini 2023 M2 to replace my old Mac mini 2014. I installed CMCW and gave it a try. Be warned, I didn't play a full game, nor did I spend more than a few minutes toying with it, anyway it seems that CM runs just fine on the new machine, even better than it did on my older Intel-based Mac. May be a little tinkering with the graphics settings is in order, but that's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herr_oberst Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 From 2017 iMac to... not a Mac Mini, but opted for the Mac Studio as my update. Still a week or so before delivery, but I hope the M2 Max and memory bandwidth are worth the expense. Mini: 8-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, 10-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 100GB/s memory bandwidth Studio: 12-core CPU with 8 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, 30-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 400GB/s memory bandwidth For CM, cores probably won't make a diff, GPU cores might, RAM and memory bandwidth hopefully. (CM wasn't the only contributing factor to Studio vs Mini) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herr_oberst Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Initial review: Time Machine backup the old iMac, boot the new Studio, use Time Machine to move everything to the new machine, short fiddling with the MX Master 2S mouse, then launch Red Thunder. Swapped the resolution to Desktop (2560x1440), up the models to best, textures to best, exit, restart, and like the comment on the Mini above, just a few minutes toying around, but very nice. No reactivation, nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reactivation, nothing. Different monitor, 3008x1692 is usable in 27", now to see how it plays in CMFI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
