Graphisoft, the leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) software solution developer for architecture and multidisciplinary design, will reveal its performance test results of Archicad on the latest MacBook Pro in a February 27 webinar. As the first native BIM software solution for Mac and fully optimized on Mac from the beginning — native Apple Silicon support for Archicad means users can take advantage of Apple's latest hardware innovations.
In October 2023, Apple revealed significant technological advances to the MacBook Pro and the 24-inch iMac featuring the M3 chip, resulting in a powerful and efficient workflow. The high-speed performance delivered by the combination of Archicad and Apple Mac devices promises to turbo-charge architectural design. Supercharged by the M3 family of chips,Apple showcased Archicadto demonstrate unprecedented speed and versatility on the new Macs.
Power, where you need it most
Graphisoft will unveil the findings of the Archicad and Mac performance tests at an exclusive webinar on February 27 at 2 PM (EST). Participants will hear from industry leaders, including Jared Banks, AIA, to discover how the new M3-Max chip can help architects boost the efficiency and quality of their projects. A sneak peek at the results reveals:
- Up to 2.5x faster file opening
- Up to 3x faster section generation and display
- Up to 3x faster documentation layout update and display
- Up to 2x faster rendering with Cineware and Redshift engines
"I upgraded from the best possible 2019 16" MacBook Pro to the 2023 16" M3 MacBook Pro,” Jared Banks said. “The M3 is amazing — I love how fast Archicad 27 runs on it and the incredible battery life. With my old laptop, I couldn't go long on-site in Archicad with the computer unplugged. Now, with my M3, I can go for hours," he added.
Upgrading to the M3 Max MacBook Pro boosts Archicad users' productivity with powerful tools designed to help architects respond quickly to shifts in workload and locations, including:
- Lightning-fast 3-nanometer chips for uninterrupted productivity
- BIM project collaboration with BIMcloud
- Real-time team messaging using Teamwork
- Access to interactive models using BIMx, including the recently launched Apple Vision Pro.
“We’re excited to share the results of our performance tests on the new MacBook Pro,” said Márton Kiss, Vice President of Product Success at Graphisoft. “Architects will definitely experience a significant boost in efficiency and project quality, thanks to the speed of these powerful devices.”
