Has anyone got to run Cinebench 2024 or 2026 yet and compared it to Tahoe / Sequoia results?
I'm really curious since this is now an ARM only OS.

Just tried Cinebench 2024 in multicore on M4. 948 points, last run on 26.6 beta ended at 961, so about the same.
Games are running worse than they did in 26.6 though.
Also tested the GPU render. 3840 points vs 3719 (26.6), this is for 8-core M4 GPU.

Thank you, that's very insightful. Welp, I expect something like a 10% jump but I guess Apple Silicone was already well optimized in their dual architecture OSs.
I guess I'll stick with Sequoia then still. Definitely not going to switch to Tahoe.
in the end this is their first developer beta and improvements will most likely span across all devices in coming weeks
Anything improves over time, usually, with continuous refinement, but I specifically referred to now the first MacOS without containing Intel Mac code.
I'm just saying that I expected more from the get go. I guess they already optimized it well enough.
The improvements might be noticeable when you are running many different heavy processes. A single process running 10 threads it's not too hard to schedule.
You can expect early betas to have debugging code. If your benchmarking is that beta is similar to latest Tahoe - then that is a good sign. I would wait until August releases for meaningful benchmarking comparison.
From WWDC, the most obvious performance change is (will be) in app activation. I have seen nothing to suggest significant change in CPU or GPU intensive tasks.
