As we can see from the chart below, this is the one test where the M1 falls behind the iMac Pro’s Vega 56 GPU.

This benchmark approximates the texturing load of the Manhattan high-level test by rendering multiple layers of texture. Recall, this D700 was essentially a modified AMD FirePro W9000 and was a beast in its day (2013), costing well over three thousand US dollars. It is also faster than the iMac Pro’s AMD Vega 56 GPU, plus it tied an AMD Radeon D700 (score = 16,193) offered in the old 2013 iMac Pro. The M1 in this test is faster than the minimum AMD GPU for running Enscape (i.e., AMD Radeon R9 270 but the M1 beat a faster R9 290X GPU). (Image: Architosh / All rights reserved.)
