Hi there ForgivingComputers, any comment on performance of M4 Mini with SC under VMware Fusion?
I haven't done much with the Mac 4 Mini since I got it. I would be happy to run some comparisons with standard studies, charts, and spreadsheets. Something that will move the needle on any system. I haven't had time to create any tests for myself, but if you have something you want me to try, I am open to testing the ARM version of Sierra Chart as well as the x64 version through Windows' emulation layer. I would hesitate to get any Windows Mini Box without knowing what its processor can do. The M4 is a screamer as far as ARM chips go, and the mini windows boxes are often more like Celerons. However, there are different price points, and I haven't researched the market for them. Since you are concerned about performance, I would recommend you don't get the base Mac M4 Mini with 16GB, as you have to share that with Windows. For me that is not an issue, as I only use it for development. For many traders it would also not be an issue. |
