Moving from Intel to Apple processor

Do you have a question you want to ask an existing QCAD user about QCAD and what you can do with it? Do you want to know if a particular feature exists? This is the place to ask.

Moving from Intel to Apple processor

Post by DaveRS » Thu Jan 04, 2024 3:05 pm

Not really a pre-sales question as I have been using QCAD for some years. Currently I use QCAD on a iMac Pro (Xeon W processor), my two main uses are QCAD and photo processing, obviously I am not asking here about the photography side, just QCAD.

On my current setup the current version of QCAD Pro (3.28.2) works just fine. I do not want to move to say Mac Studio with Apple M2 processor and find that QCAD is not as reliable as it is with my current Intel setup.

Maybe I should wait until my current Mac has to be replaced.

You thoughts are very welcome.

Regards

Dave

Hi,

In general I foresee no specific or problematic issues with Apple M2 processor.
M1/M2 are supported for some time now and I don't see many users complaining.
On the other hand, the more users, the more stable it may become by fixing reported bugs. :wink:

Sure, there were specific bugs with supporting these processors, with Qt6, but ...
... A) these things get fixed and B) there are/were other (common) bugs too.

Your personal QCAD Pro licence lets you install QCAD on any machine, on any supported platform for personal use.

Regards,
CVH
