He has a 27-inch MacBook from 2017 with an i5-7500 or 7400 plus RX 570X and 40GB RAM. I’m looking for compatible MacOS benchmarks that work well with Windows/Linux users. Here are some suggestions I found:
CPU: Cinebench R15
V-Ray Benchmark
Geekbench
GPU: Unigine Heaven/Valley
GFXBench
V-ray GPU + Cinebench GPU
Other options: NovaBench
Blender and HandBrake are also good to try. Let me know if you need more details!
Prices for RAM were falling, so he chose a 16GB SSD at $100. He bought two to improve performance for video editing and photo work on a fast storage device—likely around 20-25GB. Using a larger capacity helped with data cleaning. A RAM disk offers speed advantages over slower solutions like NVMe arrays.
