Thanks for the update and thanks to everyone who has sent data.

I re-ordered the table (slow to fast). Looking forward to some Ultra data with 2x the NE cores and 2x the GPU cores

I got 8 sec's for your 50 MB file on my M2 Ultra before mine was around 12 sec's for 50 MB file before the update!.

Mac specs's :
The Mac Studio "M2 Ultra" 24-Core CPU / 60-Core GPU -- features a 3.68 GHz Apple M2 Ultra processor with twenty four cores (sixteen performance cores and eight efficiency cores), a 60-core GPU, a 32-core Neural Engine, a "Media Engine" that provides hardware acceleration for video encoding and decoding, 64 GB of "unified" onboard RAM.
1TB hard-drive.

Thanks! Fastest yet, but not by much if you have a recent M5 Max

Def feels quicker on my PC. Subject mask is noticeably improved as well, but still no match for portrait hair.

Also, still very slow when going back and looking at images that have been de-noised. Working on those files is a drag still.

means I won't have to update this computer for another few years!!!

More information about my computer:
M1 Max MBP
24 GPU
32GB RAM
2TB HD


I was hoping to get 5-8 years out of my M2 Max MBP 64GB 2TB ... sounds like this could be a nice bump to get me there.

A couple more data points including a MacBook Air with the base chip. Only a few before/afters but no-one breaking 2x performance improvement and Jeff told me he's getting 35-40%. I wonder what Adobe are smoking saying that it would be 2.4-3.6 improvement,

Any chance you could download the test file and measure how long it takes?

Thx

Sure thing. It took 19.80 secs on my Mac Mini M2 Pro (16gb RAM)

Great thanks. So far as I can see there's only 1 Mac Mini configuration for an M2 Pro. Is this it?

Apple M2 Pro chip

10-core CPU with 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores

16-core GPU

16-core Neural Engine

Nice, the 1st one to get an improvement as much as Adobe outlined

https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1946591/0#17057571

I've been fooling around graphing parameters to see what best correlates. I'll load a couple tomorrow.

Finally installed the update. (Had a bit of a mess, likely due to some older and possibly corrupt preferences. Sigh.)

But the AI Denoise feature has definitely sped up a lot!
