A search query about URE 5 performance on apple hardware brought me here July 2025. Leaving my comment for anyone that it may benefit.
I would not recommend using apple hardware for development using URE at this time. I have URE installed on a MBP (M3 Max, 36gb 14cores + 30gpu cores.) At the time of purchase (last year) I saw a number of posts boosting the apple hardware, specifically talking about the vast performance increases for URE. If this is an improvement, it was un-usable in the past. Doing anything in URE on the MBP is frustrating as hell. It does not have the performance at all. I am doing all my day to day development on an old desktop with an AMD CPU and a 4060, and they are not even in the same universe performance wise. My 3 year old gaming laptop even out performs the MBP. We’re talking a desktop built out of leftover parts for 2k, or a gaming laptop worth about 2k when I bought it 3 years ago. They both run circles around a $4k+ Mac book pro.
