3DMark officially logs onto the macOS platform and supports native testing. Price 128 yuan – Passionategeekz –

[CNMO Technology News]The well-known performance testing tool 3DMark recently officially released the native version of macOS, bringing Apple computer users a more accurate and localized performance testing experience. This launch marks the first time this tool, which is widely used for gaming device review, has implemented a complete test suite that runs natively on macOS, filling the gap in previously indirect testing only through iOS compatible applications.

The 3DMark macOS native version has built-in multiple popular test projects, including Wild Life Extreme, Solar Bay, Steel Nomad, and Steel Nomad Light. Some of these tests were previously limited to Windows platforms or were only available in the iPhone version. It is worth mentioning that Steel Nomad Light first debuted on iPhone, but the functions provided by this macOS version are more complete and comprehensive.

The new version is completely developed based on the Apple Metal API, giving full play to the graphics processing capabilities of Apple Silicon chips. Officials say these tests are mainly evaluated for the device’s 3D graphics rendering performance and overall CPU performance, rather than AI processing or daily workloads. This makes it an ideal tool for evaluating game performance and high-performance task loading capabilities.

The reason behind the development of the native version of macOS is that the official found in the data that about every six iOS version tests were conducted on a Mac device. However, since iOS apps are limited by screen refresh rate when running on Mac, the accuracy of test results is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, the launch of the native macOS version not only improves the testing efficiency, but also provides guarantees for the objectivity of the evaluation results.

More importantly, the test results of 3DMark are cross-platform comparable. Whether running on Windows, iOS, macOS or Android, users can compare device performance in landscape orientation. This is a very valuable feature for technology media, evaluation agencies and enthusiast users.

The macOS version provides a free trial version, which users can obtain through the Steam platform. The full version is priced at US$35 (128 yuan in China). It not only supports the macOS platform, but also can be used for other operating systems and supports the Steam achievement system, which is quite surprising. The official also stated that it will be launched in the Epic Games Mall and the 3DMark official website in the future.
