Mind you, your MacBook Air probably cost about 1/3 as much as the i9 MacBook Pro, so that's pretty good bang for your buck. I suspect that the M1 is having to do a lot of on-the-fly translation of the Intel Iray rendering code. I'm interested to see that while the M1 absolutely smokes the i5, the i9 is still about twice as fast. I haven't done any new render timing tests since updating to DS 4.15.0.30, but the results seem to be similar on the M1 MacBook Air above. Intel i9 MacBook Pro (32GB RAM / 2TB SSD / 8 core CPU and AMD 5500M 8GB GPU / Catalina / DAZ Studio 4.12.0.86): 1 minute 10.51 seconds M1 MacBook Air (16GB RAM / 1TB SSD / 8 core CPU and 8 core GPU / Big Sur / DAZ Studio 4.15.0.26): 2 minutes 4.18 seconds

Iray test renders of a very simple scene: Base G3M unclothed, HDRI, 2 ghost lights, floor plane, custom render settings, 967 W x 1251 H render image size produced these results: These are the results from a week or so ago: I've done a couple of render timing tests on my 3 Macs, all of which have different versions of macOS and DS. It does run remarkably well despite the odd crash to desktop.
