About

Adobe Camera Raw AI Denoise is a massively GPU-intensive task, the most intensive camera RAW file processing use case out there, taking 10X to 20X as long as normal RAW-file conversion.

The 2023 Mac Pro M2 Ultra is hyper fast. But the 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Max impresses in taking less than twice as long. The 2022 MacBook Pro M2 Max would probably come in around a time of 3200 seconds.

Comparables for Intel machines not available—the 2019 iMac 5K crashed immediately every time the test was tried, and the 28-core 2019 Mac Pro was unavailable. Probably the 28-core 2019 Mac Pro would take 3x to 5X as long in this case.
