What kind of Mac virtual machine is right for you

Mac one of the most frustrating things about virtual machines is that it doesn't perform as well, and if the physical machine is MacBook Pro 15, we can assign a quad-core CPU and 4GB or even 8GB of memory to the virtual machine. For most MacBook notebooks it can only allocate two CPUs and up to 4GB of memory, so virtual machine performance under the same hardware condition is also a very important condition for our virtual machine selection.

Next we'll set the hardware environment for the three Mac VMs to two CPUs, 2GB of memory, and use the Cinebench R15 software to test the CPU performance under the virtual machine. GPU because each virtual machine to the GPU processing different, we can control the option is only video memory, so the memory is set to 1GB after running 3DMark Cloud gate for testing.

1, CPU test performance is good

On the CPU side, the performance of three virtual machines is not big, the difference between the core scores is only 13 points, the single core is only 5 points, it can be said that the application experience of relying on processor performance of the three are almost identical. Compared with Windows 8.1 in a dual system, the performance of the three is almost half the full spec i5-5257u, and performance is pretty good.

2, GPU test graphics performance gap

In the video card test three virtual machine gap is very wide, VB4 3D acceleration settings can only allocate 256MB video memory, VM7 although can be set to 1GB, but only support to DX9, so did not run 3DMark test software, in our standby test "biochemistry crisis 6" The performance of the test is also very bad, so it is also not used for GPU performance requirements of the task. PD's performance in this segment was surprisingly good, with a final score of 4384, and the performance was 59% of the full specifications under Windows 8.1, a performance that could achieve the graphics performance of the mainstream Windows tablet, with little to do with the general mini-game.

Summary:

In the single performance test comparison project, the processor performance of the three are basically consistent, so in the general application of the fluency of the three will not have a large gap, but due to the great advantages of PD graphics performance, we recommend to users with high performance requirements for direct selection of PD.
