                        sekow I'm pretty curious about CPU rendering results on threadripper 3995/3990. Can you share, please?

                        The dices have dropped...even at this early point I know now that I`ll be dedicating 2022 to Houdini/Karma XPU, the render times on my machine and the interactivity are insane! I`m finally leaving C4D for good...

                        Would be interesting to compare Karma CPU vs Mantra CPU.

                        Any plans to support the Apple silicon CPU/GPUs?

                        Thanks everyone for sharing your results, looks like multi-GPU support works great, I am in awe at SideFX R&D, yet again!

                        Tested this against my Redshift workflow, just trying to match up everything and not optimize. Maximum samples in RS 512 with Brute force primary GI and no secondary.
